Winter Wheels and Tires

[VinnAY]

whats their reason?

They think that they incur some kind of liability for deviating from OE stock sizes.

I didn't really get any...I kept getting outrageous prices (higher than 2k). I planned on ordering a set for 800-1000 off TireRack. Walmart does a 58 dollar install, but so far everyone keeps saying they can't do square set up, going as far as to say it is impossible!? Costco even told me that Mustangs are horrible in the snow. Yes, going for business and was getting commentary...

Square set up is what is recommended by like every winter tire manufacturer, why would they care if you have a square set up or not? I literally just got the 255/40R/19 set up all around..Very strange.

wth ?

Well, where did everyone go to do their's? That's the reason I got as well. Liability?

Has anyone had AdvanceTrac issues with running squared (255/40) on the PP wheels (19x9 and 19x9.5)?

I can either get two winter tires (Blizzak or Pirelli) or go to the 255/40 square and open up my options (Most likely either PA4s or Nokian R2s)

I haven't had any problems with the new Pirelli's, but I have them on 19x8.5 so I cant really help you there. Just FYI tire rack has the pirelli's rated higher (right under the PA4's). I couldn't find the PA4's in that size so I went with the Pirellis.

 

[Paul@PKAUTODESIGN]

the 255 all around will be fine.

Thanks! Got me nervous reading people question it.

I feel like the Pirellis, Blizzaks and PA4s will all pretty much be the same. Trying to figure out if I want to bite the bullet on the Nokians.

No worries

I went with the Pirellis.

Called my local tire place and not many 255/40/19s available (to no surprise). The Pirellis were $298 installed vs Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 (non studded) for $294. Guess I am trying out the Nokians.

I've read a lot about them (and Winter Hell test track) over the last year or two but aren't as readily available so super pumped to test them out.

Provide us some reviews when you get them.

That's awesome you found them! I couldn't seem to, and I actually wanted those first before I had to go with the pirelli's. Like paul said, I would like to hear your review of them after you get into some snow/ice.
