winter tires-What brand?

[healtoeit]

Anyone use Firestone winterforce tires on their e34. I am considering the 205x65x15 size on stock crossspoke wheels.

I keep hearing blizzaks are not real worth the extra money unless you are in aress that are snow covered all the time as they wear out fast on pavement. TIA

I live in Va and have blizzaks... Never ever got stuck in any amount of snow! So depends if you want to maybe get stuck if you get a big snow! Blizzak WS-50 all the way imo

Why the WS-50s and not the 60s?

WS=50 is old Blizzak... I don't think they make it anymore.

winter tires that fit your wheels, no debate you need them, look at the tread and what you need to power through and choose. I dont believe any certain is better just get a decent winter "snow" tire and go on with it. Impossible here without them.

I have just ordered a set of winterforce ($51 in 215/65 x 15 @ Tire Rack) and will report back.
Perhaps not a fair comparison as I ordered them with carbide studs.

good price! Nice looking tread pattern, deep lugs... too bad they are directional but swapping front to rear each season should be good. I have blizzak rev01 whatever that is, must be old. real decent in light snow, like riding nerf balls in rain and not all that good in deep snow/ice but MUCH better than my all seasons.

Never bought from Tirerack. Often wondered what shipping and installation would be.

[Tiger]

I always orderd my tires... Tons of choices and I usually end up saving over $200 per set of tires installed compared to local stores... I have not bought any tires from a tire store for almost 15 years... Only exception was two tires from Firestone for those cheapie tires on a car I was selling soon afterward.

I checked with Tirerack for shipping it would have been about $45 to ship 4 tires and local installers charge $17 to 32 per tire . I would have saved about $40 if I had gone with Tirerack. I still wonder how a problem tire would be handled.

17 to 32$ per tire? We charge $10, installed and balanced per tire
