Best tires to buy for SW2
Thanks for the info guys. It was the Blizzak's I remember reading about
on here about a year or so ago. Don't know why I was thinking it had "Mountain" in the name. My location at present time is Omaha, but will be moving probably next spring or sooner. Not sure exactly where to yet, but it'll probably be one of these three places: Casper, WY; Billings, MT; or Salt Lake City, Utah. So no matter what my new tires will be seeing alot of snow & ice. Thanks, Jeff |

I think we have a certain "season" for them >here in NJ. In some areas they are only legal for 4 to 6 months a year but they are quite legal in snowy areas and even if it has a restriction on usage this is not big deal because I used extra rims for them and put them on in winter and switch back in spring and this way get many years of service from them (Next winter will be 6th winter for studded tires for wifes car) ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Best tires to buy for SW2
Snoman, I've received negative feedback from family and friends about my
idea of moving to SLC, so I'm seriously thinking of either Casper or Billings a little more lately. I was in Helena for 4 months about 3 years ago. Had trouble finding work and came to Omaha where I thought I'd be for about a year tops. I'm really getting the itch to move ASAP. Nothing against Omaha, but I like the country in and around the Rockies. Peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for the input, Jeff |

Best tires to buy for SW2
Thanks again Snoman. When I left Montana I remember seeing smokestacks
on the edge of Billings but couldn't see the town from the highway. It was real early in the morning and I had just driven through a bad snowstorm so maybe it was just my eyes, but all's I remember is seeing those smokestacks and thinking it was probably more of an industrial town. If nothing else I'll be taking a drive up through Casper and Billings just to check out the area. A lady told me Casper has grown to about 3 times the size it used to be over the last couple of years. Not sure why or if it's even true. Anyways, thanks everyone for the advice. Jeff |

Best tires to buy for SW2
Couple of more questions for you gents:
What are your opinions on Kumho Touring A/S 795 (Standard Touring All-Season) tires? Have any of you ever used Kumho tires before? My original tires are size 185/65R15. The Kumho's I can buy are 185/65SR15. I'm wondering what that 'S' stands for. Apparently it's fine to use them for my car because it's listed as such. I'm wondering about these tires because I read very good reviews about them and the price is 'nice' also. I'd have to pay for shipping and I don't know how much that would be yet. But if I buy these I'm guessing I'd save at least $100 on what I figured I'd have to spend for new tires just walking into a shop. Also, I noticed other options listed for sizes of tires for my car as being 16 & 17 (besides the original 15). How much better would 16's or 17's be for driving? I'm pretty sure that's the width of the tire. As you can see I'm not an expert on this stuff. Thanks, Jeff |
