PATS4LIFE Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 How about A/T tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 What tires would you guys recommend i live in New Jersey where I have to deal with snow rain and crazy weather ... I have been very pleased with the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReadys I put on our 2016 Outback, and I plan to put a set on our 2015 Legacy when the OE tires eventually wear out. The Goodyears are 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake branded all-weather tires with a 60,000 mile tread wear warranty. I’m looking for a tire that more meatyer ... Why?

aki334 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I have 225 55 17 If I would buy my next tires I would go with 235 60 17 Sumitomo htr a/s p02 not expensive and good all around. so whatever size you have, go 10mm wider and 5% of the total width higher, this way you will get some more meat but still be able to seat 5 without rubbing. On my other car Mk4 jetta TDI which normally takes 195 65 15 I installed Kumho Krugen HT51 truck tires size 215 70 15 now that is some noticeable meat. If you find Kumho Krugen HT 51 go for it, it is has great rating for all season truck tire with 70000 thread warranty and 3 peak snowflake symbol. What I like about them is that sharp profile when looking from the back. It has noticeable square look and sharp edges. I probably did not explain myself clearly but you get the idea. Krugen HT51 is more expensive than sumitomo but for snow they are great and do not wear fast. I am sure you already know this, larger diameter tire will effect speed and odometer reading, and also acceleration and braking will be effected. You will like lower rpm on highway.

08SpecB_DE Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Pirelli P7 Cinturatos. Check ratings on tirerack. I put a similar size on my girlfriend's car last weekend. I paid slightly more getting them from the rack but we have a wholesale account. Amazon had them for $95/each iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delbon Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have Continental DWS06 on another car. Bought them from 4wheelonline. They are great year-round tires. They stick very good in dry and wet roads. I only had occasion to drive them in snow once and they performed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNJLegacy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Good morning Neighbor and welcome aboard...I went a little different direction with my setup as I wanted to gain some lift so I first installing a 2 in lift then opted for a set of snow tires GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTIC 12 on a smaller 17 HELO HE894 rim. Now for the summer I wanted something a little more aggressive so I went with Falken WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL tires on the same 17 in HELO HE894 rims. You did not say what size rim's you have, mine came with the 18 ins so you can get these for your OEM size. I also wanted more sidewall for a smoother ride then I was getting with the 18in OEMs. I am happy with the A/Ts there is a low level wine sometimes when I travel I287 in some spots otherwise I am very happy with them. I still plan to switch to snows for the winter but with the A/Ts I don't have to since they are snow rated. Hope this helps.

mind Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Years ago I went with 18x8 ANDROS N1 SDC and 225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 those worked great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldguy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Extreme Contact DWS06 installed a couple weeks ago. Drove on ice and snow -- better than any other 3 season tire I've driven. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
