I'm looking to purchase new winter tires for my 2005 Hyundai Tucson FWD. This is my first winter with this vehicle so I don't know how it would handle in snowy or icy conditions. The current all-seasons are great in our rainy weather, but I will be doing daily highway driving through the winter and need some peace-of-mind. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced but reliable winter tire? Cost-wise, I've narrowed it down to: - Goodyear Nordic $118 - Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 $185 - Yokohama IG20 $180

Go with good year nordics, they are descent tires for the money. |

What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

What tire size? 215/65R16? If so, I would recommend the Pirelli Winter Carving Edge here http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Pirelli&tiremodel=Winter+Carving+EdgeThey also have a $40 MIL active right now as well. |

Same vehicle different year. 2008 Tucson that my dad drives. We'll be getting a set of steel rims + 215 65 16 winter tires. One place quoted $790 all inclusive tax in, but that's for Kelly Snowtrakker which I read are junk. What do you guys think about Nexen Winguard sold in walmart? Price wise they are not much more. Also there was a winter tire ranking posted here. I guess it was Consumer reports, but I can't find it now. Help  |
