Winter Wheels & Tire Thread | Setup & Reviews

[AJ]

Post your winter setup and reviews.

We finally got winter tires on the car. We went with the Hankook W300 in 225/40/18. We where limited in the 18's due to the stock of the most popular tires being on back order for the next month. These where also the cheapest. Tires ended up being just under $660 for the tires. I'll hopefully have some results if we get some more snow to try them out on.

Hankook Icebear W300 mounted on the stock Evo8 wheels, paid around $660 for everything. This is my first experience with winter tires and in the little bit of snow we've had all I can say is it's amazing. No complaints yet. These were also the cheapest winter tires in my size at Discount Tire.

I feel better having winter tires now. At least we have another car we drive if it's crappy. Hopefully we get some snow so we can see how they handle.

Continental ContiContact All season's. 235/40-17's on stock evo enkei's. Came with the evo when I bought it, and I love them. I drove through the tail of that that crappy ass storm we had a few weeks back with no issues. They are not snow tires, but they were up to the duty of trudging through several inches of snow quite well. They handle pretty good in the cold/dry and in warmer temps they really handle awesome for all-seasons.

^^ I believe those are the same tires that come on the SVT Focus. If so, they do handle awesome on the pavement. I was impressed.


I used to have 14 inch Winterforce snow tires on the rear of the old S10. They worked great. The current DD just has all seasons but I now have 4WD to help.
