No Snow (with snow tires) no go......around corners.....

I have my Blizzaks on my GSR and they suck. I tried to tear around a corner and i about smoked the curb....they don't turn hard worth a shit....I need some good tires that i can use for street and Auto X!! Just had to vent, and if anyone is lookin at Blizzaks, they suck on dry pavement because they are snow tires, but we have no snow!

I'm sure i sound like an idiot for posting this but it made my decision easier...I AM GETTING new tires in the spring!!

BTW the new System Of a Down CD rules....

Which is why most people have two sets of tires. One for winter the other for nicer weather.

Heck I have 5-6 sets of wheels and tires:
  • 15x6" OEM SI wheels with Nokian Hakkapelitta 2 snow tires
  • 15x7" Enkei RPF1s with 205/50x15" Azenis (615s)
  • 15x7" Kosei K1 with 205/50x15" Azenis (215s)
  • 16x7" Rota C8s with 205/45x16" Toyo Proxes 4
  • 14x5.5" CRX SI wheels with 185/60x14" Bridgestones
  • 205/50x15" Hoosier A3S04s
  • 205/50x15" Kumho MXs

Did I miss any?

They are pretty decent tires. I haven't driven on them in the snow yet.

I used to have many more wheels and tires I sold a bunch of them over the summer.

At one point I think I had 9 sets of wheels and/or tires
