$80 cheaper because they are on closeout. I need 4 tires badly before winter hits as my OEM goodyears are at the wear bars. I can feel the car sliding around more on cold pavement in the AM



Not really all-seasons, but if it snows i don't drive til the roads clear anyway

That's a nice deal, but figure in shipping and install too.

It's a good tire for sure. However, I wouldn't suggest it for winter. You should either get a set of dedicated winter wheels/tires or all-seasons.

I have a friend that is a tech and can mount and balance for me.


I was going to get a all-season tire but everything Z-rated is very expensive.

Plus even though i drive in the winter, i don't really drive when snow is in the forecast.

I ran a set of those before. Very nice performing tire but only lasted about 15,000 miles before i had to replace. Now i have the Eagle F1 GSD3's and like them even more.

Here's me:
I would not take out my Stang on summer tires (Michelin PS2s for me) if (1) there is any chance of snow and (2) the temperature is below 40 degrees.

But, I just like to be cautious. It's honestly a great tire, especially if you can save money.

Why do you want a Z rated tire?
