Jagged -> Winter tires and sizes (11/27/2007 11:27:52 AM)
|
I scored myself a free set of stock 14" scrub wheels that I want to mount some winter/snow tires on. I have a 93 2.3l, so I really don't need any high-performance type tires. I'm looking for some reasonably priced tires that'll do well in snow/slush and some ice. This is my first car, I've only driven trucks up until now. When selecting tires for trucks, I know the skinnier tires do better at getting down to the pavement than wider tires.
Right now the two sizes I'm looking at are 195/75R14 and 205/70R14. The only real difference between the two is about 1/2" of section width. About the cheapest I've found for tires in these sizes is some Cooper (mastercraft) Glacier Grips from triesavings.com for $39 a pop. So far the most appealing I've found is the Bridgestone Winterforce M+S, the tread pattern and staggered shoulders reminds me a lot of the Interco Super Swamper Boggers (which do really well in mud/muck).
Right now I'm leaning the most toward the Bridgestones in the 195/75R14 flavor, any thoughts or suggestions on other tires or sizes to consider?
