Need some new tires for winter
 

Ok i need some new tires 185/65/14 for the upcoming winter. I have uniroyals on it now and they suck so much. What do you guys and gals recommend that i should use, they got to be excellent for snow and wet traction so all season tires and hopefully some good performance out of them. FYI i have Tirerack and Discount Tire Company next to me.

I had Yokohama IG10's on my Jetta last year, those were phenominal in the snow.


Now, I have Yokohama K2's, which are speed rated winter tires (oh yeah!). ALthough I havent had a chance to test them in the snow yet, I can honestly say that these tires rock so far. Wet, dry, whatever... They're VERY quiet, ride smooth as hell, and theres little to no "wander."

I give them a big thumbs up. I also read on a VW forum that a guy had them on his GTI, he said it made his car feel like it was awd in the winter. I'm so pumped to try mine out.

Can you give me a website for these tires. I checked Yoko's main website and i only saw the IG10's on there. Thanks

Unfortunately I bought them from a private seller, but i'll look around and see what I can find for ya.

I have yokohama Avid H4s' on there right now, they're high performance all seasons... we'll see how they do comming up.[:@] They're awesome on dry but they're really impressive on wet pavement... feels like it's dry.

Ok i found some possible tires i might get and wanted to get some opinions. Heres the link for the three im debating on getting. Thanks amg those Yoko's look like good tires.

I can afford 4 tires this friday so i dont really care about price even though cheaper is better and ill probably mount these myself or something.

Update: It's been snowing for the last couple days here and the H4s' are solid. I'm impressed with them.:D

Last winter here I was forced to buy Mirada GTX's ... I gotta tell you that I was impressed with how they got me around in the snow...I've already raised the car for winter now and can't wait to have some fun...
