    I need a pair for winter, and I don't feel like shelling out $450 for Blizzaks. Figured someone on here has to have winter tires that have at least 1 good winter left, right?

    I need 215/60R16. Let me know if any of you have anything.

    General altimax arctics.

    Or

    Gt radial champiro ice pro

    Budget friendly winters that perform well

    Don't cheap out on winter tires and buy super used ones.

    You sir are a plethora of knowledge today! :)

    And I think that $450 for winter tires is a good/cheap deal. That's $112.50/tire!

    ^That's Mathz @tehfuzz !

    As long as there in decent shape, you'd be crazy not to!

    Yeah, the previous owners bought them new a month before I bought the car.

    I have a set that will last you at least one winter for $100. Blizzaks in the size you need. Food for thought....
