QuoVadis69 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I was wondering, for those who live in snowy/icy condition during winter time, whats brand of winter tire will you use??? For me, I just bought some Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 on 225 60r16 size for my AWD Fusion. Can't wait to try them!!!! :D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komondor Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Blizzaks are great tires I think the only knock on them is the wear rate. I am going to stick with the factory tires for right now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I live in Ontario and my job takes me from one end of the province to the other. I experience a lot of different mixed winter conditions with 90% highway driving. I am going to pick up either a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D's or Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3's sized at 205/60R16 on steelies for my SEL AWD. A good friend of mine who's got a Mazda 6 loves his Eagle Ultra Grip's. Good ride comfort, nice handling, great wear and they are pretty quiet for winters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I changed my mind and am not going to get the Ultra Grip's. Going to get Semperit Speed Grips instead. Semperit is owned by Continental and the Semperit's are made in Germany. Apparently they are very well received in Europe and have a good reputation. They are new to Canada. They are supposed to be very good if you do a lot of highway driving with mixed conditions. On top of it they are a lot less money than the Ultra Grip's as well as the Dunlop Winter Sport 3D. http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/...ed_grip_en.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightw Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I love the Michelin's currently on my fusion for summer tires, so I will be going with the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3's http://www.michelinman.ca/overview/pilot_alpin_pa3/3880.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFA Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I couldnt afford the nokians. went with some kuhos 205/60 16R. pretty huge treads on them gets kinda vibratey doing highway driving..well see how it is when the snow hits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJonesy Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 A local tire dealer quoted my Wife $423.08 for 4 Cooper Arctic Claws. I'm thinking that price isn't for the 225 50/R17's she's got on the car but for the standard 205s. Still, I mainly wonder about these particular tires and Cooper in general if anyone cares share their experiences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
