jz curious any of u guys get snow tire for your car? And what kind?

 

I have the Michelin Artic Alpin's on my stock 17's and I like them a lot!

 

A must have here in Alaska. I run studded Hankooks on my stock 16's and I'm very pleased with how they perform.

 

What does "studded" mean? I'm still waiting for snow to fall to decide if I need snow tires.

 

Seriously? Little steel studs "shot" into the tire for traction. Lucky you, no snow yet. If it does come and stick around for while, the GS needs a great snow tire, with or without the studs to get around safely.

 

i run michelin pilot alpinII's on 95 SC400 mags on my GS430...

we got 12" of snow over the past weekend, and now it's -9c outside... and it's all packed snow and ice everywhere now... which is when studded tires come in handy

studded winter tires are winter tires that have studs screwed, or sometimes casted into them to bite into ice...

studded tires are great on hard packed snow and ice, but make little to no difference on soft powder... and are not so good wet or dry...

i was also considering the nokian hakkapaliita4 (studded) or the hakk RSi...

 

I run Michelin Pilot Alpins on my stock 17"s. A must have for winter.

 

I have some skinny 215 series Kuhmo all season tires on the stock 16" wheels which work great. With the traction control and SNOW mode its more than enough not to lose it.

Last winter I drove my C5 with winter tires all winter and the car did great.

 

i work at town fair tires and jz put on today 215/60r16 hankook w409 snow
tire, the car came stock with 225/55 r16. i wanna see how these bad boy perform in the snow. we havent got any snow in mass yet so we will see.

 

I got some Yokohama Ice Guards on my 2002 GS. I just put them on tonight and its supposed to snow 14" here in Chicago tonight!!! It will be my first time in the snow with my GS.

 

Is it ok to put 215/60r16 on a gs 400, and does it affect the performance of does the car ride just as good.

 

WOW u brought up a 3 year old post about SNOW TIRES to ask this? are the 215/60/16's EVEN snow tires......in SOUTH CAROLINA?
