Re: Any good deals on winter tires right now?

I was wondering the same thing, I was looking for my wife's '05 civic with 16" wheels, i checked tire rack and found a price range between $250-300.

I'm not sure if they are 15s or 16s.

What size do you need? You can get a set of generals that will fit on a set of 1G rims for about $80/tire

Re: Any good deals on winter tires right now?

I talked to the guys at the Firestone that deals with my store, and I was told $973 for Blizzaks mounted and balanced at a 30% discount.

Probably going with Generals, lol.

If anybody needs a set of 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 tires I have slightly used Blizzaks for sale, few thousand miles on them is all (not going to fit a DSM but thought I'd throw it out there)

Wha? Tirerack has the LM-60's for $660.00/set and the WS-70's for 624.00/set (stock Evo size 235/45/17 or whatever it is.) That would mean they would charge over $100.00/wheel for mounting and balancing for that price? Something isn't right there unless there are some $250/tire blizzaks I'm not finding.

I got my Winterforces last year for the WRX for, I wanna say $400 installed and balanced? (With my firends & family discount at STC Tires Plus) Those things were amazing. Only thing is, they don't make a winterforce in an Evo size. They would be available for a stock DSM wheel though.

Re: Any good deals on winter tires right now?

I just got a set of 4 General Altimax Arctic's for 385 shipped to my door in the 215-55-16 size. I've been using them for about a week or so now and love them on dirt. There's so much grip it's pretty ridiculous...


I just can't wait to get some snow on the ground now...
