Default Start thinking about winter/snow tires now...
Every year I see it, people wait till the last minute and its too late. Put it this way, Late October is too late! We are just now starting to get winter tires in stock, and they are already leaving. If you plan on doing winter tires, at least call in and get a set on hold for you now while you can. You can speak to any of our sales agents...just dial 888-459-4080 and let em know you want to buy or reserve some winter shoes. Mention your site!

STicky this please

if you have your 16s Id run 225-55-16s or narrower 215-60s for best results. About $320 a set for some of our Hankook snow tires

I had to run my T/A for two winters I put a set of 215/60 on and couldn't believe how great the traction was.

When I got my Pirelli PZero Neros this summer I picked up some Ice Guards from Discount Tire for a good price and these should be a sweet winter tire.

For my 2 cents.
