Re: Best Traction Tires

Summer tires suck in the winter, winter tires suck in the summer, all season tires suck all the time.

Re: Best Traction Tires

I live in Idaho and run low pros (toyo fz1's I think) all rear around. I just get them siped - makes a world of difference. Some low pro's you can't sipe though - but I drive in 2-3 inches of snow with them and usually don't have any problems.

Re: Re: Re: Best Traction Tires

Racing slicks are badass on snow and ice.

But seriously, get some skinny pizza-cutter deep-tread studded tires on all 4 corners...

Re: Best Traction Tires

bridgestone blizzaks.

awesome on ice and snow, better than normal street tires on the strip. snow tires are the poor man's drag radials

Re: Best Traction Tires

i just got goodyear viva2's all the way around and im getting better traction in the rain that i did with my random tires. The drivers side front which gets the most power had a kumho tire on it and i get better traction with the goodyears that i did with that. Once i started accelerating in 1st fast, i would hit 4k and start spinning if it was wet out. With my goodyears i dont spin as much.

Still shopping for tires? What size and price range? If you are serious about safety and performance opt for dedicated winter and summer tires. If you need some help choosing a specific brand or model let me know.

Siping is sort of putting small cuts in the tire's tread to help with grip (aka tread on a snowmobile).

Look at some here: http://www.nokiantires.com/newsite/t...p.cfm?id=1&w=1

Re: Best Traction Tires

I got 4 Kumho all season tires from the Tire rack for $140. They have a pretty deep thread. Not bad for the price.
