yea gettin ready for the Chicago winter, and was wonderin what would be good winter tires to get forthe best tractionand where can i get a good price. and any other winter driving advice (other than putting it away). if any1 can help me out that be great thanx

 

sandbags sandbags sandbags!!!! last year I think I put just under 300 lbs in my trunk and it made a world of a difference along with snow tires. the year before I did nothing and had a hell of a time.

 

thank you but any suggetion on tires [&:]

 

Get dedicated winter tires.

 

yea still needtire size, type and where to find them[:@]

 

A TON of weight in the trunk can sure help a lot if you're trying to get traction while accelerating. But if you overdo it, watch outif you'recoming to a panic stop & all that rear weight makes the cars butt end want to swing to the front!

I was looking for some CHEAP yet good full winter tires for my '02 GT & bought a set of Champiro brand. I've never heard of them before but trusted the tire store guy. He said they're as good as Blizzaks but a LOT cheaper. Sure enough they are great winter tires. Look around for a store that sells them.

 

i like my blizzak's remember when getting your size that in snow you want a thin tire not a wide tire a lot of people come into my work and want to order wider snow tires than their summer tires and its stupid so when you do get them get the skinniest winter tire you can get on your rims, also get a q rated they are the softest while they wont last as long they are so much better than the other ones.

+1 on the sandbgs they really help but remember to start braking a bit earlier cause it takes more distance to stop more wieght

 

If snow is in the forcast, fill the tank to add more weight over rear tires.
