to save money on snow tires ive decided to put the stock wheels/tires for the coming winter. anyone go through the winter with them? how are they in snow?

 

my tires are bad in the rain. Im sure they are terrible in the snow, like most other fwd cars w. stocks. Im getting the nokian snow tires, my mom has them and they made a world of difference in her car.

 

If ya go like 5mph, they're great! :D

 

They aren't THAT bad...if you know how to drive well on ice.

I bought my IIP in North Dakota...in January. It was fine on the stockers.

 

Yep, if you know how to drive on snow they arent too bad.

 

Indeedilydoooo.

I'm feeling wierd today...so I will x2 you for agreeing with me.

Also, odd note, the Lexus IS250 AWD has the exact same tires, just a little wider. Boss got one 2 days ago. It's nice.

 

Stock tires drive like an all season in snow - in my opinion awful. A cheaper way out is buy some Cooper snows - stock size. Best bang for the buck. They wear like iron (not like the super soft compound Blizzaks) and are sooooo much better than the stock tires in snow!! Make sure you install 4. I put 7,000 miles on them last year - look like they have never been used.
