J Tegeler Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 So with winter on its way Carl (2005 montecarlo) needs some new tread. anyone have a tire they would recomend? I am looking for a year round tire that will do alright in some snow. size: 225/60/16 Been surfing on tire rack because I can get them mounted and balanced for free so I might as well get them online.

musclejunkie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Blizzak is what a lot of folks are using for winter. I could use some myself! As for "year round", not sure what "all-season" tires are the rage right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah I have heard good things of those, but I am looking for more of an all seasons tire..leave it on right through summer that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osok Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Teg...I'm getting me some blizzacks for winter this year As far as your question I've read/heard good things about Goodyear Assurance and the Continental ExtremeContact. here's some good review info: Best Tires | Top Picks and Reviews at ConsumerSearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 thanks for the link O, I hate buying tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've had great experiences with all the Kumho tires I've bought... on my 4th set between our 2 cars now and see no reason to go elsewhere. Good quality, good wear, and reasonably priced. Plus, the Corporate HQ and west coast dist. is literally in my city so buying helps support the local job market as far as I see it. Ran them on the TBSS and on the Avy now... wifes Equinox has one of their high mileage designs and they've been great. Plus they're not half bad lookin' either: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 what kind of milage you get out of them Dylan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 what kind of milage you get out of them Dylan? Hard to say... my Avy just barely cracked the 10k mile mark and only half of that is on the new tires/wheels. I'm running their Ecsta STX My wife has their standard higher mileage tires for light SUV's (solus I believe).... we replaced them way ahead of schedule around 45,000 recently and they still had pretty well defined tread on them.

J Tegeler Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 only 10k on the avy?! that is why the paint is so perfect you dont drive anywhere I will look into pricing on those tires for sure, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Tegeler Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was happy with the price, the car has 112,000 on it and these tires are rated for 70K..they should be good for the rest of the miles I own the car also while I have them off to change tires I am going to clean the barrel of the wheels and get some paint on the calipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
