I wanted to get some different tires for winter in the NW. Any recommendations and/or what are you running?

/is it even necessary?

 

Bridgestone Blizzak. you will love them.

 

no tire will make up for the driver mod.


A good all season is plenty.. unless you wanna go plowin through feet of snow..

 

^ pretty much, what are you planning on driving through!

 

I have brand new blizzacks ws60 mounted and balanced on some aftermarket enkei's if anyone is interested pm me!

 

I have always used the 245 blizzaks and they worked very well. However, this year I found a set of the Dunlop wintersport 3ds for cheap in the 225 size. I am anxious to see how they work out. I used to go to school right in the middle of the snow belt and the blizzAks worked fine, I am pretty sure I used the lm-25 variant. Driving is of course, key. Good luck!

 

Thanks! I am just planning for normal evo driving, nothing crazy. But I know it's pretty wet and can get icy. So since this is my first winter up here, just trying to be safe.

I have heard good things about the Pirelle P Zero Nero All Season. Has anyone tried these/heard anything?

 

if you aren't planning on snow plowing then you really don't need blizzaks, driver mod and all seasons should suit you just fine. Heck when i had my 02 m3 i had high perf tires and i drove in the snow a couple days and did just fine. Just don't drive crazy. I would check around or call tirerack/discount tire and see what they recommend.

 

I go back and forth on this one A/S vs winter, and IMO if you want to get the most out of the Evo, get dedicated winter tires. Much more confidence inspiring, not to mention more fun driving circles around 4x4's, SUV's etc. I'm getting ready to pick up a set of General Artic Altimax @ $114 each, from The Tire Rack, stock size.

 

i have ig20's blizzacks and w-drives
i do alot of snow driving and it makes a huge difference

 

blizzak ws-60's here!

 

Hey, I been looking for driver mod, where can I pick one up ?
