Replying to: andreas3 (Dec 17, 2007 1:46 pm) Summer tires are simply not useful in the snow, period. You will need a 2nd set of tires if you drive in snow. Or get a winter beater. It's the same for the EVO, STI, MazdaSpeed3, i.e. all sporty cars that come with summer tires. Summer tires are actually OK in the rain, but not on snow or ice. The soft compound gets rock hard. There are no sipes on the tread blocks, either. |

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 17, 2007 2:21 pm) Even a set of all-seasons would help but I'd suggest the new Blizzack WS60 as a good snow tire for the car. -mike

Replying to: paisan (Oct 27, 2007 6:49 pm) i've had more expensive tires (potenzas, goodyear triple tred assurance, and goodrich traction t/a) but none have lasted for much more than 30-40k. i drive 30k a year, so i opted to go with a cheaper tire since i seem to be replacing them every year anyway. i hope i didn't make a mistake in getting these.... k2

My daughter has a 98 outback with 143k that she bought from a private owner who had  replaced 2 tires with tires or similar wear but I measured the circuference of all four and measured the back 2 at 1/8" and 3/8" less than the fronts. She is experiencing an intermittent shuddering mostly while on straight road, at any speed. I thought it was a fuel or spark issue until we looked closer at the tires. Is this an issue? I always hear the need to replace all 4. What if I measure a new tire and find one the same size? Can I use it?
