Hey guys, as we know its about time for the studs to come off and the sticky tires to go on for us in the north. I was browsing and came accross these

I was wondering if any of us on here have any type of experiance with these.
Let me know rants and raves about them.

Thanks- Colin (Valance)

 

My friend has those and he says they grip really well, but they wear out quick, maybe his was a Z rated.

 

I haven't even heard of these before, I'm very sheltered. I found this site which might help you shop for some new tread.http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews.asp

 

wait, isn't there a wheel and tire forum?

 

its posted there and not getting replies. so i put it here

 

wait, your taking your studs off?

 

Yeah, the don't grip worth a damn on dry pavement.

 

your studs? what do you mean by stud?

 

Studs are commonly used by people in the north i wouldnt expect to many people in texas to have them. they are little metal spikes that are mounted into the tire for traction on snow and ice. very handy in the winter, but not for summer driving.

 

I would imagine snow tires with studs are prohibited except during winter, much like snow chains, since they damage the road surface.

 

ohhhh haha. alright i gotcha now.
cooper's are decent tires. i dont have personal experience with them though. that seems like a low price on that site.

 

thats the idea they are a cheap site. I have a friend that works for cooper and thats the price he gets them for. he say normaly there around $130 a tire.

 

Don't forget about shipping....

 

my brother has those on his ::cough cough:: ford taurus SHO and they seem to grip the road really well. not much road noise either. if the price is right, i would definitley consider purchasing them. I actually considered buying these tires myself for my max this summer... we'll see though.

 

Shipped to my door step is 340 some odd dollars which isnt bad considering i live preatty much in the boonies.

 

They're not necesssarily performance tires, but more or less all around tires, but I got the Yokohama Avid V4S's last time around, and they are much better than the Goodyear Eagle RSA's that come stock on the 97's. Iv'e only had them for a year, but they are quieter, grippier, and cheaper than the GY's. 100 each, as opposed to 150 for the GY's. Time will tell if they last longer.
