#12 of 16 Winter tire udpate by canuckkiafan Dec 10, 2005 (4:25 pm)
Finally got some snows on this week after shopping around, Toyo GOs 195-60-R15. What a difference - a definite must have IMO for this weather. Ended up back at the dealership, they came down in price once I told them I had been quoted ~120$ less elsewhere.   Am still pleased as punch with my Spectra!

Replying to: geomatics (Nov 22, 2005 8:21 am) Hi, I have a 2005 Spectra 4 door in the GTA and having a hard time getting winter rims/tres other than CT one size fits none - even from local Kia dealers who quote me $110 a rim from Kia plus tires etc - we're up to ~ $900. Please tell me which dealer in Ottawa has the winter tire package - I might even go there to get one! Alternatively which OEM rims did you get? (I am assuming KIa 4 door has similar rim/trespecs as the S5 - i.e 195 60sr15's installed)   Many thanks   arb000

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 16, 2006 9:59 am) Hi, I am looking for winter tires/rims for my 2005 KIA Spectra 4-door. I'm in the GTA. Any ideas? I would prefer KIA rims or at least OEM's that fit. The dealers have been unhelpful. Thanks!   arb000 Replies to this message: spmrebel (Nov 07, 2006 5:43 pm)

Replying to: arb000 (Nov 05, 2006 5:03 pm) You might try places that sell used or nearly new take-offs from Spectras. You can get them at considerable discount. Try eBay. Also, consider looking at Hyundai OEM alloys from 01 thru 06 Elantra GT as there are the same 15x6 4-117mm lugs. Other options include looking for third party wheels from Discount Tire or Tire Rack
#16 of 16 Cooper tires by smalltown Sep 30, 2008 (12:28 pm)
I replaced the original tires with Cooper CS4 a few weeks ago on my 2005 Spectra5. So far, I haven't found any difference on dry or wet pavement. They are supposed to be better in snow. That is a major reason for getting them, so I won't be sliding around in winter. I'll post later after a few snows. These are rated at 60,000 miles.
