Im looking to get some flat black 15" rota slips for the winter. what tires are you guys running? can you post some pics. also anyone know of any good deals online. thanks.

 

A lot of folks here like 205/50/15. Brand is up to you. I'm using Falken Ziex 512's (they're all season tires). Though you might want to use another brand since you're using it for the winter.

 

I have Dunlop Sport A2s on my stockies for winter...they are awesome. About $75-80 per tire...but well worth it IMO.

 

I recommend Nokian Hakkapelittas. Funny name awesome snow tires. The company is in Scandanavia and they do testing on a snow/ice covered track.

The skinnier your tire the better it is for winter because you want the tire to bite through the snow not float on top. I recommend going as skinny as you can. I have 195/55x15" Hakkapelitta 2s on my OEM Si wheels. I think they came out with a newer and better tire the "RSI". My 2s are also studdable.

the RSI

 

I would recommend any studded tire for winter use. That's what they are made for.

Studded tires may be illegal for use in VA, but so is my car. I'm buying a set of studded tires. :fawk:

 

I just use my stockers for winter.

 

thanks for the replies. what do you guys think about these tires Falken Ziex,Toyo T1S and Kumho 711?

 

I can tell you right now that the Falken Ziex is going to suck for winter use... when I ran 502's on my drive wheels (rear, of course) they lost traction in perfect conditions. I hate those tires. :squint:

 

For winter? They would all suck - especially the T1S and the 711s. Go to http://www.tirerack.com and see what to use for winter.

 

I mean for all year around. I know I said winter when I started the post but I really want tires for all year round. thanks.
