Replying to: packer3 (Sep 30, 2008 3:32 pm) I've been driving for 33 yrs and never had snow tires, always drove with 4 seasons and only had one accident in winter time (little fender bender) but this year starting on 15 Dec. snow tire are mandatory here. If you're caught driving without snow tires the fine starts at 300$ and if you're involve in an accident your insurance doesn't pay you a cent.

Replying to: grosloup (Oct 01, 2008 9:27 am) Where do you live that "they" can make snow tires mandatory? I've used "studless" snow tires for several years, and they work really well. Probably better than studded tires. I think studded tires should be banned, too hard on the roadbed. You have to take studless tires off in summer because tread is soft and they wear out too fast.

Replying to: grosloup (Oct 01, 2008 9:27 am) Wow, yea what state do you live in besides Lake Tahoe Nev. area, I think studs are banned in Jersey, they are excelent in the snow but bad in the rain.

Replying to: jackswammi (Oct 01, 2008 11:22 am) I live in the province of Quebec Canada. (western Quebec).     We must get our winter tires before the 15 Dec but studless because studs are not allowed here, only in the northern cities of the province.     What is realy weird about this law is that where I live it's right on the border of the province of Ontario just a river to cross (I can see the river from my home) but on the Ontario side snow tires are not mandatory. Go figure!     Lots of different laws exists between the 2 provinces and both are in Canada.

I cant find winter tires size 235/ 60 / 17. What other size can I put in replacement, without causing any trouble to my Equinox 2006 Replies to this message: grosloup (Oct 11, 2008 1:41 pm) grosloup (Oct 11, 2008 1:48 pm) sandyt1 (Oct 15, 2008 8:11 am) grosloup (Oct 15, 2008 9:17 am)

Replying to: zoocar1 (Oct 11, 2008 7:04 am) Had the same problem with my 2005 equinox. My original size is 235/65/16 and all I could find were "Bridgestone Blizzaks" good winter tires but they cost a foot and a leg to buy them. My dealer found out that I can install some 215/70/16 with no problem and more choices in that size. Even more... they're narrower so less slippery.     Check with a G.M. dealer there must be an alternative.

Replying to: zoocar1 (Oct 11, 2008 7:04 am) It's me again "grosloup".     I've checked with www.tirerack.com and there is 2 winter tires size 235/60/17 available but also check with a G.M. dealer.   The "Bridgestone Blizzak ws60" and "Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow".

Bridgestone Blizzaks are available in 235/60/17 at Firestone-Bridgestone and at Discount tire and Tire Rack online store. You could probable use 225/65/17 too, About the same circumference. You can get these in Michelin Studless snows too.I really like studless snow tires. Much better than studs on rain and much quieter too. Legal everywhere.

Replying to: zoocar1 (Oct 11, 2008 7:04 am) I have just returned my 06 equinox and happen to have 4 blizzak winter tires that I used for two winters. Wouldn't have gone without them. I'm willing to sell them since I've downgraded to a smaller vehicule. Replies to this message: grosloup (Oct 15, 2008 9:17 am)
