Diggerdan11 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yeah I know the Proxes 4 is not going to be the best in the snow, but i know its a very good overall tire. I love Toyo's I have had nothing but good things to say about them. Like I said if my wife feels like she is unsafe in the snow on those tires I will go down and get her some snow tires. We will have to see how this winter is, 2 winters ago we got a ton of snow and it was pretty nasty, last winter not so much. It would snow melt snow melt. SO we will have to see how this winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstar Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 No snow in southern CO yet. Luckily I only drive the LGT on my days off. Had a tire fail on me about a month ago, so just went with a set of new Goodyear Eagle all-seasons. Then a week later a buddy of mine had a deal too good to pass up: Raze (yes, no names) gold six-spokes with good tires for $200, no curbage. So now the stock LGT wheels will be my winters and the new ones will be summertime. Even though it hasn't snowed yet, I'm interested how the new Goodyears will handle the weather. Kinda wishing I would've just bought snow tires, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak legacy 49 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That's what I have on mine GY eagle rs-a. I read some reviews on them and people were not very happy with them on wet/winter conditions but tbh I have actually been very happy with the winter performance I've been gettin out of them! Maybe it's just our badass awd and I've deff used better a/s tired but I'm satisfied with these for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder_Boy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Schools closed. I somewhat hope a similar situation occurs this week for me. Weather.com shows 100% for snow with 6-10 inches of heavy wet snow on Tuesday, which is unheard of for here in October. If classes are cancelled Wednesday, that means I go to work with Dad, and then I get to drive the big '93 Nissan Hardbody. All the 5 speed, 4x4 fun I can handle. that also means I get paid twice this week But I'm sure you're out for the hurricane. You guys stay safe up there.

HAMMER DOWN Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So far my job is still open. Should be a fun 60 mile trip home around 3-4pm. With 40-50mph winds & 70mph gust. It's going to be like playing doge ball. Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooshski Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 For snow : Excellent choice if your goal is to be stuck in your driveway.

I had Potenzas on my 03 Lgt for 5 years with no problems and winters here in Fairbanks are 9 months long. I'm not saying there great winter tires but I put 75,000 miles on a set without a hiccup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooshski Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I only had one experience with them when I first purchased my Legacy, tires were nearly bald. I've read a ton about these tires and hardly any good or positive feedback. I don't know where you guys learned to drive but damn.

roundthirteen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hankook snow tires still in bags in the basement. Still hoping to find a deal on some decent 17" wheels to put them on. Way cheaper to get 17" wheels than to get 18" snow tires for the stock Spec B wheels. I also need to change my rear struts before the snow falls. I never bought 17" wheels last winter because we didn't get that much snow. Odd for Michigan. My car's not a sleeper it's a hibernator. http://pure-tuning.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak legacy 49 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah I see. Ya I got mine brand new in the a/s tread (forget exactly which ones they were) but they had pretty good dry performance and decent winter performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehRicer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 tires > ubercoolwadio setup I really enjoy that though. I still can't make up my mind whether I want to bypass the EQ on the OEM H/U or just EQ over it w/ the miniDSP's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
