Winter Tires
Hello everyone,
With winter coming soon here in the northeast to prepare myself and get a second set of rims with some winter tires on them.
I have been told this car isn't that great in snow conditions, this being my first winter with this car I wanted to play it safe and get a set of dedicated winter tires.
Here are my 4 options from tire rack and their reviews. The bridgstone is always a great default but I am personally leaning towards the Pirelli.
Check out the comparison review and leave your thoughts.
Thanks

I HAVE GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTIC as a dedicated snow tire. Haven't been stuck once, and I've driven through 3-4" of snow uphill not touched by a plow.
I've had them for 4 years and still have a ton of tread on them. I have to really punch it for it to break loose with light fluffy stuff on the ground.

I'll definitely tell you to stay FAR AWAY from Nankang lol. The set I had last winter were so bad I swapped them out after 2 months to a set of Dunlops. But I was planning on going with the Michelin X-Ice this year like 02SDGS and justim.

I use my car as a daily, all year round.
And we get plenty snow here in Sweden.
This is my first RWD, but this will be my third winter with it.
I've been using Michelin X-Ice with studs in them, and they've worked out great for me.
These cars are actually quite fun in the snow.
With the VSC offand snow on the road you can force the rear end out in almost every corner and still have full control.

To the OP, where I live I don't typically get super-deep snow (may 2" max accumulation) very often, and get by with Dunlop WinterSport's. They're a "sporty" winter tire so you don't give up all your handling when the roads are dry. If you live in a climate where it's constant deep snow, yeah Blizzaks are the way to go.
Multiple ways to do it...two in the trunk, two in the back seat; all four in the back seat; some in the front passenger others in the back seat. Hell, I can fit four tires in my Miata.

Yet you guys are getting -4- in the back seats of an LC? TWO in the tiny trunk? Jeebus!
It's good to know it's doable.
