Re: all season tires

i have a set of kuhmos on the car right now. they lasted me almost 2 years and hte price was right.. i may go with those again.. they were good on the rain and just ok on the snow.. i dont commute far so i;m not too worried about snow driving. also can anyone support THT's comment about the tire size difference not being much different? thanks guys.

Re: all season tires

I had a set f 205s and a set of 215s. The 205s were stock tires and the 215s were off of my sister's Rav4. The only way I saw a a difference was when I lined them up against one another and even then, it was a negligibile difference.

Re: all season tires

215/55/16 khumo winters are an excellent choice for around your budget I ran thgem for three years and never had a problem with them and never got stuck in the snow.They are great on powder conditions and wet weather conditions
there is also a czeck brand called SAVA you might wanna check out.

I'm sorry but I beg to differ, my eagle RSA's worked out great in the winter, the only downside is that they didn't last long.

Re: all season tires

Its your choice but coming from a place with harsh winters with harsh cold -40c = four season tire compound getting hard and under hard braking your on hockey pucks the rubber/nylon coumpound becomes to stiff,loses its elasticity,wheareas a snow tire stays softer but doesn't last as long.I know so I beg to differ.

i live in the Boston area so -40 degree weather is never seen. 10 degrees is very low for us, and that's only a few days a year.

Dennis, u should be shot dead. Cant beleive u would compare Kumhos to those wack a** Potenza's! Whatta disappointment. My Kumho's perform top notch, i do beleive these r the best tires for less than $150 p/tire. I paid less than $350 for a set and never paid more than $60 p/tire.
