Winter Tire Suggestions?

as the saying goes, if you are going to spend money on anything on a car, brakes and tires are what you should be spending the most money on.

 

Meanwhile the cheapest tires and brakes are what everyone constantly looks for.

 

Need to get my winters mounted still, but the pickerels are calling this weekend so I might have to push it one more week on the AS. SKETCHYYYY

I put a set of Sailun Ice Blazers on my 4x4 Ranger last November. Priced very well and also work very well.
Although they are somewhat of a new brand to me and the long term wear factor is unknown. I have heard they do last well however.

Brian, make sure whatever weight you add that it cannot move in the event of a sudden stop. I have seen frozen bags of sand end up in the cab of pickup trucks through the rear window.

Unfastened patio stones are a possible killer in the event of even a minor collision.

The sand bags I seen in the cab of a pickup got there in a sudden stop at less than 20 kmph. Lucky she wasn't hit by them.

 

:good: Unsecured ballast, luggage etc. is a potential killer at anytime. Unfortunately, many people don't think of it at the time.

He's got them inside a wooden box fastened down with ratchet straps :) Makes sliding in the icehut a lot easier!

I put them on our fwd Mazda last winter and they worked weil. started at 13/32" and they are down to 10/32" this year. I estimate I put nearly 15k on them last winter. 3 seasons for me if I am lucky but more than likely 2 and a bit.. but I drive more than most. i was impressed with them enough that I got a set for our grand cherokee for this winter.
