well we used to have tirerack adds on the homepage and if you click through them to buy tires, you give aleromod some money by doing so....

You want good tires, you gotta pay for them

I got these but in 17" size

Yes they are expensive, but very good tires. In fact, when I first got them up until 9 months ago, spinning the wheels either didn't happen or wheel hop would occur

Michelins are crazy expensive. My continentals are in the next performance class up (UHPAS) and they cost almost half that.

[negolien]

I got the zexius' and they're fine for me.

I now swear by my general exclaim UHP tires. They were inexpensive, ride great, and meet minimum mud and snow requirements. Plus they look awesome :P. Check out my "new shoes" thread for my review etc. Good hunting.

General tires are made by Continental.

15 FEET of snow? or inches?

[BlackJack]

you probably aren't going to get both great performance, and all-season out of one tire. Either way, I can't wait to find out how DR's do in the snow

if you buy your tires online from tirerack, go to tirerack through the aleromod sponsors links on the homepage. I don't know exactly how, but it benefits the site.

edit: and I didn't even realize there were more pages...oooops. lol

Haha, worse than my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s which I *had* to drive on in december once and had no problems spinning them in 5th gear at 30 MPH.

I hate those with a passion. Goodyears are so overpriced. I had the F1's on a T/A, and they would spin as if they were on ice when the road was even slightly wet. Replaced them with cheaper better rubber and never looked back.

[Redog]

Well I was told the 4 brands of tire you should get are

GoodYear, BFGoodrich, Michiellen, and Pirelli (I know I axed the last 2)

I will never buy Goodyears again, and I found that the BFG's at least the radial T/A's are made in Mexico

Really? Which model of the F1 were they. Mine are exceptional in the rain.

[zzyzzx]

Personally, I would avoid made in China tires. They have a well deserved bad reputation for a reason.

good for snow, and running over small-medium sized mammals.

[lonnie]

Nitto Neo Gens average price $176.00 each but I got them for $106.00 so there are cheaper prices out there, and the first set lasted me 3years with alot of abuse to them.

It was some years ago, but I believe they were just labeled goodyear eagle f1.
