why wouldn't it be worth it?

 

definitlry worth it!!! last winter i was stuck in a parking lot cause it was a slight uphill, in my all season tires, it took me forever to get out of it, next day snow tires went on, never looked back

 

Hakka 1's are the only type I use on my cars

 

prolly 1 of the best investments u can make for the winter, there more reliable (wont get stuck as much) and safer.....pick up a good set and some rims to mount them on and u'll b good to go for a few years since they won't wear out to,to quickly since there only gonna b used in the winter months.

 

Can't wait to try them out.

 

I used Bridgestone Blizzak's last year...and I loved them, however I spent $900 on all four, and I suspect this winter will be the last I get out of them (stupid scraped 401).

 

why should i get some rims?? i am planin on usin my 14" factory rims...

tanks so far i will look for prolly 1 and blizzak....
tanks all

 

Of course it would be worth it. You wouldn't ruin summer tires and you would have better traction in the winter. Also this would prevent from accidents from slidding.

 

On your 14" rims, Blizzak's will cost you alot less than mine did, I ran 205/50/16 on my stock rims.

 

i ran motomaster ice tracs last winter... they were amazing... definately would recomend using snow tires

 

I ran.. uhm. TigerPaws. They were good. No problems getting stuck, and I'm 30-40 minutes north of Barrie, we get snow. Lots of snow.

 

I ran goodyear ultra grip ice last year. Now ill never have a car without winter tires.

 

kumho snows... beautiful i took my car to tremblant it was lowered and all... not one problem.... shweet!!!

 

Snow tires were one of the best investments I have ever made to my car. I didn't get stuck once last year, the ABS never came on due to a loss of braking and the wheels rarely spun pulling away froma stop. I bought a set of the Walmart Wintermark snows. Probably not the best tires available, but I only paid $230 tax/install for all 4. If it snowed more then 2 or 3 months I'd invest in a better set, but they're good enough for me.

 

nordic icetracs

they were awesome, amazing traction

 

I was on those last winter, with a 2 inch drop, no problems

 

you dont need to spend $900 on winter tires...I buy Nordic Icetracs from canadian tire for $300 brand new (granted they're 13" but cant be that much more for 15") but anyways, with my car as low as it is I never had a problem...I'd even drive by suv's and trucks that were stuck and laugh.

 

+ keep in mind....
If you drive nicely, it will last for at least 4 winters!
