Thinking about getting these tires for the stock ITR wheels.
They are selling for $57 each and free shipping.....what do you think?

FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512 B

 

i think the price is a steal. I'd get them.

 

U better buy real snowtires if we have another bad Jersey winter like last year.

 

They are all season and they got a pretty good review for snow traction

 

good reviews, might not be good enough if we have a nasty winter. Might want to spend a few more on "real' winter tires...

 

snow???? what's that?

 

I've read mixed reviews.
I'm getting the Sumitomo's.

195/55/R15

 

That tire look grippy and could grab the snow.

 

I dont know anything about these Falkens for the winter...But I've heard nothing but good things about the Michelin Arctic Alpins in 195/55/15...Heard they're excellent for the conditions here in N.E. -$78 tirerack the last time I checked. Im getting these this winter. Also the Michelin Pilot Alpin's are supposed to be a serious winter tire also...but a lil higher priced than Arctic's. -this also avail. in stock size. suggest u check these out.

&gt;&gt;&gt;YOU SUCK!!!

 

I highly recommend Bridgestone's LM22 Blizzacks for winter... higher speed rating, great in snow/ice and they actually surprised me in dry weather grip.

 

Do what I do and have a beater for bad weather and keep the R nice and pretty

 

Last winter, I drove to school and work every day in my hatch on azenis. That was stupid. Semperit sport grips are supposed to be good from what I read.

I bought my first set of dedicated winter tires for the ITR last year. I highly recommend them for anyone living near the Canada/USA border or the north pole like me

I'm using Kumho KW15, costed me about $70/tire in 195/55/15. I mounted them on the stock wheels which are now dedicated for winters only.

I drove on the highway after a heavy snowfall (like 1.5 feet and none of which have been cleaned off of the road) and had no problems maintaining 60+ mph.

Kumho

 

I drove a buddy's civic with blizzaks once in about a 8 inch snowfall and let me tell you, I was amazed. I think a pure snow tire is the way to go if you're somewhere where it can be justified. An all season tire will help, but I think you may as well spend the extra dough on a full bred snow tire. Besides, they last so long you can probably sell them if you don't use all the tread life.

 

had alpins on the teg last year, handled awsome every snowfall i`ll go find any unplowed parking lot and have some fun

 

alpin's or blizzak are not bad i heard

 

I used those on a Del Sol last year with the shity New Englnad winter we had and they were fine. for the oney they are a great value. The best part is ou a get a bit of performance when there is not snow on the roads unlike the few sets of snow tires I have used over the years.

 

I had them in my other car, and it was 17" tyres, and I think they were not bad at all....I'd get them
