Winter/Performance Tires
Hello guys,
I am new to the the forums and wanted to hear from you guys what winter tires you guys would recommend and which brand is the best bang for the buck.
I have the stock Yoko Advan summer tires on but I heard that these are terrible in the winter. Also, wanted to know what was the main difference between winter performance tires and regular winter tires.
I've been looking at Bridgestone Blizzaks and Pirelli's Sottozeros in Tirerack but both of these are quite pricy, unless both may be worth the investment.

Is the evo capable of handling some canadian snow with all seasons or does it need dedicated snow tires

Yeah, I'm actually looking at the new model Continental DWS 06. They have pretty good rating overall and are not too pricy. The only problem is that there isn't customer feedback on how they handle in snow yet since they were just announced sometime in May this year. Tirerack rates them the best all seasons though.

I can attest to the stock tires wanting to kill you in snow. I was on my way home from school and it was flurrying and I was in snow mode the whole car got sideways. As far as winter tires I would say Bridgestone Blizzaks best winter tire in my opinion.

I actually ended up choosing Blizzaks WS80's, can't go wrong with Blizzaks. Thanks.

Winter tires indeed make a world of difference, and even with no snow, if your temperature is below freezing a lot, they grip better too. And honestly they make the evo ride a little softer too, just a little added benefit. I have the General Altimax Arctic's and I love 'em, can tear through any amount of snow no problem on the evo

It's also about budget too, what you can afford also plays a role. I got lucky last year and winter we only had one or two small snow storms. However; I don't think I will get lucky like that again, so I'll have to get some all-weather tires(which is better than running summer tires like I did) or dedicated snow tires(and hopefully be able to afford new rims come spring time).
Has anyone used All-Weather performance tires, wonder if they are something worthwhile to get and just use year round(I don't really race or go drifting in my car )
