Snow tires

[DJ Taso]

My HHR came with Firestone Affinity touring tires and they're absolute garbage. I should of known they were when I had a hard time gripping in the rain last Summer. They have 6k miles on them.

What are some good snow tires?

These are what I am currently using and I like them. The price is right. In the past I have used Bridgestone Blizzak, Nokian Hakkapelitta Qs, and Cooper Wintermasters. All great tires. Not sure if any of them are still in production.

I would recommend these as well:

I've used them on my Vibe GT for 5 years and love them. On my T/A, I used Blizzaks. While they were more than sufficient, the Dunlops are far superior.

What I really like about the Dunlops is they do not give up any perceptible dry or wet (rain) traction. I use Z rated Avon tires on my Vibe in the summer. These Dunlops, while not able to corner as well, are just as sure-footed in the rain. Granted, they are not meant for drag racing, but are very good tires all around. I just wouldn't use them in the warm weather, as they'll wear out fast. I've put about 10K on the Dunlops, and they easily have another 15K- 20K left on them.

^^^^ I normally dont like Dunlop, but they hit the nail on the head with that tire.

father had winterforce snows on his old 96 tbird, never ever got stuck and were only half worn out in 6 seasons when we junked the car(blew a headgasket, took out the head) he averages bout 20-25K a year so they prob had 30K on em

I used Blizzaks on my Z28 in North Jersey for a couple of winters till I moved away. The car didn't have traction control, but driving was never a problem. We had several snows that were over 2 feet. I never got stuck or slid when using those.

Hmmm...must of been a helluva guy that sold you those tires Joe (LOL)

bilzzaks are good tires but wear out fast, esp when run on dry pavement

Fer sure! Seriously, it was the best thing I bought for my car. Thank you!

I ended up selling them to the guy that bought my last Camaro last year. They still had usable tread on them.

Late in March 2005 we had a freak snow storm up in North Jersey. Unfortunately, I had changed to sumer tires the day before. I got out of the parking lot at work and to the first stop light on a slight incline. After I stopped I was going nowhere. I was lucky to get turned around and back to the lot. I had to get a co-worker to drive me home. If he wasn't there I would've had to spend the night there.

I remember that storm...we had a lot of snow in a short period of time. I'm glad I had my snow tires on my Vibe or I was going to be stranded at work in Edison too.

Snow tires are the best bet for driving "safely" in the snow...no doubt!
