Winter Tires

Nokian. Hakkapeliitta tires (RSI, 2 or the newer 4) is probably overkill unless you frequently head up north to ski. The WR is the winner for mostly dry highway but every once in a while snow / ice / ski trips. So says the wisdom of a skier email list I'm on for people that ski in Vermont... many live in Mass / NY and have decided that the Nokian WR is the answer for daily driving in Mass / NY and weekend trips to VT.

Almost 2 years ago, I owned an '04 Mustang Cobra. It was my daily driver and I live in the Denver area. I purchased a set of Dunlop Wintersport M3's for winter driving. I cannnot praise these tires enough. They were not only exceptional in the snow and slush and made my Cobra with a little over 400hp and 400tq, driveable and even decent handling in the white stuff. They also offered good dry traction and better than decent handling when it was dry. Obviously I highly recommend them. Hope that helps a little.

I have a set of Borbet 15" rims with Bridgestone Blizzaks that I found used on the 'net. I've been very happy with them. The traction is far better than the original 17" runflats, and the extra sidewall height protects me from the potholes. The original owner got them from Tire Rack. After three seasons, I'll be replacing the tires this winter.

Talk to Alex about the 2007 version.
Lots to choose from depending on how much snow you get.
Narrower tires usually work better if snow is heavy.
Steel rims and Alloy rims are available. (Depends on your Year and brake clearance)
