Hey Chris, do you remember where you got them? Was it tirerack or something like that? I'm in the market for cheap winter tires for my laser.
CVD actually picked them up for me from Discount Tire, but I know Tirerack used to carry them too. If you can't find those, try the WinterForce snow tires.

I believe I have the Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice (205 width). They worked great last winter and I still have two seasons left, but I don't drive all that much.

I have a pair of New Balance 381's for this winter. I wonder if performance summer tires are on sale in the winter?
From what I have heard the Hekkapiltas are the way to go for a semi performance snow tire. I know mnsubaru just did a huge group buy on them and prices seemes very reasonable.
Personally I have used Winterforce snow tires, Blizzaks(ws-50) and i loved them both. The winterforce snows wouldnt be available in a size for the Speed though.
I have also heard great things from an SRT-4 owner about the Hankook snow tires.
What size are you looking to go with? What size are the stock 18s?

I will be on my 18's all winter that is why I am tying to get the evo done
other wise I have some 2g gsx rims that I would have to take off the summer tires and put on some all year tires on them. I hate that I can put on my stock 16in spyder rims with the big aem brake kit. (sence I had to retap the knuckels with a bigger bolt to better hold the adaptors for the kit and cant go back to stock)
I think we are going to rock out with the 225/45/17s and look into a package with Discount Tire with some Hankook tires.

I've got Hankook Ice Bear snow tires on my 240, and they work really well, considering it's rwd with a clutch type LSD.
