Does any one have any all season/winter type tires for 17" rims. Or a good set of oem all seasons. Just wanted to try here first before I buy new ones. Thanks

It gets real icy and slushy back home sometimes and I dont really trust summer tires.( I got rid of my stockers long ago). brentlz 10-30-2004, 09:06 PM winter tires?? in AZ?? -Shane Hmmm, I bet that's what the folks involved in fender benders Friday morning over a wet & icy bridge along AZ-89A used to think. ;) Glad I put on my Winter set the night before. Barely noticed slip over that bridge as a couple cars went into the guard rails in front of (and many more behind) me...doubt I could say the same or have a straight car if the S-03's were still on. Obviously, I'm pretty happy with the Nokian WR's...other than being hard to find (etires (http://www.etires.com)) and not exactly cheap (probably $170/tire in 17"), they are an excellent compromise for the mixed Northern AZ Winter conditions(dry/wet/slush/icy on the same day)...heck, what other snow tire comes with a 50k mile treadlife warranty?

'tis not all sand and saguaros"...wait a minute, I shouldn't let that out...Prescott's crowded enough :-) Brent.

I almost sold my lawnmower cuz I thought it didnt even rained enough for grass. Much less snow. I just pictured rocks and dirt in the front and back yard. :D |
