I have been told that I must MUST must get snow tires. I need some but there is no way I am putting another 500 into this car with only a month left of winter. Anyone out there have some that they want to sell me? Help me out guys!!! I just got this car 2 weeks ago and I want it on the road more and more. I love it

 

errrm, I still have stock summer tires on mine and I live in nerbaska...

all season is good unless you planing to do serious snow driving.

 

Get a 2nd set of cheap wheels and wrap them with winter tires. Keep good summer tires on the current set of wheels and just swap them as the seasons change. Throwing $1000 or so (wheels + tires) at the car will allow you to specialize your tire sets (get nice grippy tires for summer).

 

Location? I have a set of snows and rims for $500 for local pickup in Seattle.

^ There ya go. 17" rims are even better for winter tires; cheaper for when you need to get new tires. (gave you a free bump; I can vouch for the Wintersport M3's )

 

I live in Nebraska, so pick up in Seattle would'nt work However, if someone would be willing to ship them, I prolly would be up for it. God decided to punish Omaha this year. The amount of snow here is redicilous

 

I learned this year using dunlop M3s.... That one time your stuck driving home in snow and you have good tires will make spending the few hundred MORE than worth it. All seasons on this car wont help you in a few inches and summers will make you end up in a ditch

 

I'm glad i got a 2nd set of 17"s and some Hankook Ipikes.

feel much safer

 

I have really looked into them and i KNOW that i need them. my buddy has a miada and he put Blizzacks on it. he cant wait for it to snow.... me on the other hand, i have to check the weather every hour just to make sure ill get home from work. i just need something cheap that will last me a month or so. then i will get some in the summer when the prices are really low.

 

Put sand in your trunk while you're waiting.......
