Blizzaks are overrated, just get a good all season tire. No tire can help someone that doesn't know how to drive either.

Oh yeah, Bring on the snow!

Bullshit! All season tires in my S14 in the snow was a nightmare. I drove through 9" of snow in my car with blizzaks on last year without any serious issues besides a snow caked front end.

I drive the 4runner in the winter but I REALLY want to trade it for a scoob legacy 2.5 gt. I just can't find it financially smart to do so.

240 stays in the garage and I rock out the 04 Elantra.... and yea snow tires are definately NOT underrated. IMO they work significantly better than all seasons.

Good catch, didn't even notice I did a double negative like that. Embarassed

Seriously tho, winter tires are worth every penny. The grip on snow/slush just blows even a good all-season out of the water.

If I didn't hate the tires on my DD now, I'd definitely buy a set. I figure I might as well get some mileage out of these Falkens since I just bought them last year.

My S13 has snow tires on it now, but id much rather have a winter beater with cheap snows. If I find a deal ill jump on it, but ill probably end up having to drive the 240 Mad

I can't decide if I want to store mine and buy a pile or drive it with some snow tires...

Anyone know how hard/bad it is to drive a 240 in winter? This is my first winter with mine, so I'm clueless confused
