most distribution centers have already increased the prices for there tires, and the rest should be upping there prices november 1st.

as for tires running out, a lot of it is just news hype

You should just go with all seasons, change your driving habits and slow down the rest of traffic. who cares about everybody else! :ph34r:

I just talked to my wife, Walmart has Dunlop Graspix DS-2 in your sze (205/55/16) for $112 a tire. Here is a link to the Tire Rack review page.

They also sell the Nexan for less, I had them on my last car and they seemed to work great (until I got hit by a truck) Just remember that any snow tire will be way better in the snow compared to an all-season.

Not news Hype, really people pulling long ass shifts at the main OK Tire distribution building telling me they are running out of them. No news hype.

Ya and thats y I said they are running out lol. They don't accept returns for winters untill Febuary and March. Just after Inventory.

[Flofocus]

My Hankooks have been great for 3 years. What kind did you have?

Do the 55 rub? Doesn't it need to be 205/50/16?

Ice bear 300...

This is the size I had and it was recommended by Ford but I do agree that they've rubbed a bit so I may consider going to 50. Thanks for mentioning.

What size is used by other SVTF owners for 16" ?

[CanadaSVT]

I have Hankook W401 on the Marauder. My SVTF had 205/50/16 winters.
