Does anyone have a good recommendation for Snow/Winter tires that they have run on their HH? I live in Calgary and need a tire more suitable to Icy and Snow conditions.

Of course, dedicated snow tires would be better, but by all reports, these do very well. I have 10k miles on them so far,and no apparant wear. I'm in the mtns of w. NC, so we get a fair amount of snow. This winter will tell the tale.

Replying to: qqqq (Oct 08, 2006 6:10 am) This a useful tire size comparison calculator. As to a European tire mfg making winter tires,; many serious winter tires are sourced from Europe. Nokians are from Finland, and the Finns certainly know about winter. |
