The snowtires today are completly different and I put Michelin x latitude (quantity 4) on my car via the tire dealer's insistence. The whole car drives entirely different since I put the snows on. It really sticks to the ground and I feel that the dynamics of just two snows would be undrivable with these tires. I understand that 4 snows are recommended for these tires and for Blizzaks. If you are asking for a recommendation, I would definitly put on 4 of the Michelins or Blizzaks.

The problem with only 2 snows is that it upsets the anti-lock braking system. You need 4 snows on modern cars--front or rear wheel drive.

What you were told is just wrong. I bought a pair of Blizzacks for the rear of my 300C H.E. just a month or so ago. I went with a pair vs. four because we only get a little snow here, but 3 in. was enough to nearly leave me stranded with the OEM Conti Self-sealers. I will store the Blizz's for the three seasons and probably buy a second pair next winter to have four rolling then... for the ABS reason.
 
What do you mean you don't have ABS? Do you not have a Chrysler 300? How old IS your car! LOL

yes i have a chrysler 300 sedan its a 2006 did not come with anti lock brakes. I live in upstate ny so we do get a lot of snow sometime near albany ,ny
 
well i have called 7 place asking for the blizzack an no one has them up here. did find Michelin 215/65R17 99Q LAT X-ICE BSW but they say their for SUV and small trucks . people have said they would work on my car.

Please go to Chrysler.com. All 300 models come standard with anti-lock brakes.

The standard 300 does not come with anti-lock brakes.Go back to the Chrysler website and look under standard feature
and the stock 300 does not have anti-lock brakes.

Yes. You are right. I can't imagine a 2007 rear wheel drive car without ABS. I wonder how many of these Chrysler sells in a year. A real cost cutter.

Chrysler also did this to the Charger.They now put the 2.7 as the base engine,and have abs,esp option on the SE model.
2006 model had all that as standard plus the 3.5 was base engine.For the 07 model this brings down the price around 2k,so more people will buy them.Its good business sense. They did put the 2.7 in the 06 Charger for fleet and rental only.
