Winter Tires?

AudiGurlie · 09-26-2006, 06:07 PM

Hi there,

I'm going to have to drive the TT this winter and am looking for some good winter tires. I know of someone selling some Blizzaks, but they are 16inchers. Can you put 16 inch rims on a TT?

Thanks!

It may be worth it to check out Nokiantires.com

We have a set and they are GREAT in the winter and summer,

If you go to the tire rack site you can read others reviews of snow tires.

We use Blizzaks, and find they suite us well. They're an older model...MZ-1's if IRC, and wear has been great.

I've been a ski instructor for 35 years. I know that I need winter tires--better breaking and better traction.

Hope this helps.

(Others will have preferences; the most important thing is to pick a good winter tire. They all add peace of mind!)

ps areas in Michigan get real winter! I'm in Southern Ontario, but travel to ski areas where ploughing may be nonexistent.
