Anyone have this tire or have any suggestions they'd rather have? One of the most important factors for me is wear. This seems to have very good longevity, which plays a big part in my decision.
Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 - 185/65R14 - BW
Total comes to $573. Good deal? Should I also get separate rims for about $250 more? or just use my existing rims with the winter tires (or pick up locally)? |
of all the winter tires I've ever had, Blizzaks were the best. You know when there's that super hardpacked snow on the street that has been packed down so much it's like ice and everybody just spins on it? Your Blizzaks will literally bite down INTO it like one or two inches. You'll beat 4x4s and AWD cars off the line. Sounds like a great deal too, btw.
Rims are your call. Worth it if you plan on changing over your wheels by yourself; otherwise I wouldn't bother.
