Winter Tire Question

[turboA4]

Ok...i need some winter tires, and i have been looking around a little

I have always run Blizzak WS-50's in the past, but now i see tirerack has the Dunlop Graspic DS-2 for not that much...have any of you had any expirence with them or have any recommendations??

Thanks a million!

I dont know if they are even available still but my Blizzak Revo 2s are absolutely amazing. Apparently some Corvette guys liked em so much they decided to see how long they would last in the summer, Id stick with using em in the winter. They're an ice and snow tire as opposed to a snow and ice tire (thats how they classify em) so they're perfect for Iowa.

the Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds are supposed to be quite nice for a performance winter tire

Love, love, LOVE my Blizzaks! :drive: I bought mine for $350 shipped with a $50 rebate from TireRack.

I have been rolling on the Nokian Hakkapelitta RSi's this past winter and they never let me down. I decided that the Finns might know how to handle snow.

I also think the Blizzaks are a good way to go.

Yeah I think I remember getting a $50 or $100 rebate on mine too.

:word: I love them. I have them on both cars

i used to have some michelin pilot alpin snow tires and they were very good..

now on my wife's car we run kumho winter tires.. the ones that you can add studs to (we don't have them on) and they have performed well on the mk3 and on the mk1 they are on now

[turboA4]

ok...thanks a bunch, i have always run blizzaks, and i really hate to change, but it looks like i can save a bunch of cash if i go with the dunlops....

dumb idea??

[IaR32]

all i know is i had dunlop winter sport m3's on last winter and they were crap compaired to my michelins. ive also had really good luck with blizzaks

[BROBS]

check the kumho's for a good compromise on price and quality :cool:

IMO the dunlops would probably be a step down from these..

what tire size do you need? i didn't see that posted?
or maybe i can't read ;)

the "winter iPike" and i think they are pretty darn good tires especially for the price :hoff:

tell me the tire size you want and i will find you the sweetest deal ;)

[turboA4]

alright guys....thanks a ton....

I ended up finding some on craigslist...which happen to be dunlops as well...

i need 17s or anything with 5x100 bolt pattern, but i am picking some up on thursday, all four for $150...sounds good to me!

they were used for 1 winter and then he sold the car, so they still have 10/32 out of 11/32 of tread...so we shall see

My Nokian's are kickin ass so far this year :tu: :tu:

They are supposed to be as good as blizzaks for traction but have way longer tread life.

I had Graspic DS-2 on my WS-6 in college great damn tire if you can find a goodprice on them I would highly recommend them.

[turboA4]

well damn...if they worked on the ws-6, then they will work on the tt

i just bought 4 graspic ds-1's for $150

i am happy!

[kleinergti1]

I'm beginning to think you might be a euro wannabe, Forumula 1, WRC... oh come on...what would the Finns know about snow driving... :)

i love the Bridgestones for everything. Then again Im kinda bias though, my dads a sales rep for them.

I'm on my second season with them and they have not failed to impress me.
