Summer Tires
#21
End of March at the earliest, probably easter weekend......who knows I guess it all depends on the weather. Keep the rain coming and the snow melting.

I love these tires.. they are awesome. This is the narrowest I can go, or else I've gone narrower.

You people with your small tires! I can't go smaller than 16" on my car because of brake clearance (before anyone asks - the base model Mazda3s with 15' wheels have smaller brakes). :angry: Needless to say - big winter tires are very expensive.

I'm sitting on 205/50/17 Toyo Snowprox S950 (stock tire size) on the stock rims. It got me through about a foot of snow without getting stuck. Was plowing like crazy though (lowered 2").

Hankook Winter Ice Bear W604 Q rated sized 215/45R17 $644 installed and taxes in at Mountain Tire on the Hamilton Mountain (upper james). The place looks like a s**t hole but they are quite good. You'll have to order them of coarse since they're an 'odd' size for winters. I've been quite impressed with their performance in the snow/slush and not too bad in the dry as well.

I'm dreading that day.. My conti's are just about cooked and I will be needing a new set this year.. I don't know if I'm keeping the car, so I don't want to splurge on a pricey set if I get rid of the car next winter.. Dilemmas.. Dilemmas..
