My turn for tires. I'll pull the trigger whenever... I dont plan on putting on the wheels until Halloween or Thanksgiving pending temps.
Tires are going on my G35x AWD. 215/55/17. I'm looking for a decent set of all seasons. Priced around $500 all 4 to my door. No brand loyalty, but current ones are firestone FR710 and i dont want those again. I used to have my buddy let me use his tire machine so it was no cost to me but now he is done so most likely considering using something like discount tire or tirebuyer.com and using one of their peoples.
215/55/17 is the size. Will be driven in chicago snow/rust/ below 0F weather. Might see spirited driving when the weather breaks. Traction in slush is main concern. I do a lot of highway driving, the city is decent at cleaning the snow off but its all slush that gets people. FR710 was decent for me the last 2 years, i got a free set. I was stuck once but thats was my fault and not the car/tire.
I was really consider Kumho 4x II, but its too new to get reviews. People seem to like the Cooper Zeon/ CS5 for their ecoboxes but i'm not sure if that is a good idea for my somewhat sporty car, which has a 300hp motor with a 3900lb body.
Also is Discount tire road hazard something worth my money? Its about $80 for all 4 tires, 3 year warranty. My friend loves it because he seems to use it all the time in our pothole infested city.
