WTB - winter tires

is there a group buy in for winters this year?
if so.. i'm in

 

Mike is the person to talk to about this. (LegacyPGT) I may also require some more tires if there is a GB for nokains.

 

I need some Nokians as well.

 

mike knows that i'm in on the GB this year (cant decide, wr or wr2....)

 

i will be in for sure!

 

I got 4 pretty much brand new potenza re92s, less than 2000 miles on them. they'll sell real fast as soon as it starts snowing. if there is any interest let me know.

 

Word on the street the Nokian group buy is coming soon.

 

haha yeah i heard he stuck all like 32 tires in the back of his truck and drove back from chicago. 32 tires ranging from 205/50/r16 to 225/40/r18 or something like that lol.

Nokians > RE92s for snow/ice.

 

truth, i am going to buy some more Nokians this year i think, that or some Icegaurds or something.

 

Just a heads up

Tire rack has the Dunlop Graspic DS-2 on sale for $81 a tire (205/55/16) That is what I have run on my 01 RS for the last two years and I love em. I've had blizzaks and I think the dunlops are much better.

 

Do you know if the Dunlop uses one or two compounds and how deep the sipes go?

 

I would be in on this GB as long as I can sell my all seasons.

 

I agree, but Winter Sport 3Ds are the king. It's funny seeing people post up about how they have stones (LM-25s) and went to Dunlops and never looked back.

I just can't wait for the road noise of the 070s to go away for the season. :laugh:

 

might want to check the tire rack tests, blizzak revo 1 beat the crap out of the dunlops. revos are better on ice than hakkas but worse on dry pavement. I'd still get another set of revo1's over hakkas strictly due to the price difference however, I got mine for almost $250 less thank hakkas.

 

You might want to look at that again. The M3 (and older models) have been on top the past 3+ years and has more miles logged on it then any other performance winter tire on there. The Revo is a studless snow and ice tire. F that. Snow isn't deep enough here and the wet/dry handling of the M3 is night and day better. Maybe if I drove a minivan...

which hakkas? anyway, the revos really really suck in actual snow.

i like the wr's cus they are better in slush, which is realistically what we get the most of, and they have way better treadware/noise on dry pavement.

 

Really? What other studless are you comparing it to? They're on closeout right now and the gf wanted a set for her cobalt.

 

I want in on this, just need to know how much and when.

 

here it is, this is the official Nokian snow tire group buy.
