An *excellent* alternative would be to get the Nokian WR tires. They're the only all-season tires with the snowflake on them, and they come from the company known for snow tires. In addition, they don't seem to be a compromise at all; killer in the snow, and quiet and smooth in the summer. > An *excellent* alternative would be to get the Nokian WR tires. > > They're the only all-season tires with the snowflake on them, and they > come from the company known for snow tires.

The only problem, for some, is that they are blasphemously expensive. > > An *excellent* alternative would be to get the Nokian WR tires. > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > The only problem, for some, is that they are blasphemously expensive. I bought 4 of them, with tire warranty, installed, for $500 last year. What's so expensive about that? >> > An *excellent* alternative would be to get the Nokian WR tires. >> > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > What's so expensive about that? That's all? Oh! Of course, everything here in Canada costs more than in the U.S., although the WR's apparently cost significantly more than other tires. I've heard of people here paying upwards $150 per tire compared to $100 for a decent all-season or winter tire. HI, The Michelin X-Ice snow tires I got last year were $155ish Cdn each. 195/55/R15 (2000 Civic SiR(USA Si) I think I paid $1000Cdn ish for 4 tires and steel rims last year. My wife got an excellent deal for her 05 Civic Si. $800ish for X-Ice and steelies.

OK, I guess I should have mentioned that the approximate prices I gave were for the 185/70-14 size (which my Accord uses), just to use an example. Obviously, a different size will have a different price. > Of course, everything here in Canada costs more than in the U.S., although > the WR's apparently cost significantly more than other tires.

You want a "decent" tire, one you can legitimately call a new tire, you pay $100. You want a GOOD tire that does what you need it to do, you pay a buck fifty. So? Are you one of those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing? I put on a set of Pirelli Winter Carving snows last year and downsized from what I had on an Accord EX V6 as the regular allseasons. $95 per tire plus rims and tax. Good deal and they worked just fine. Nothing exoteric and good value. >I'm getting ym enw accord in 2 weeks and I was wondering what stock tires >come wiht the EX-L 4cyl? how are they? any idea hwo it would be in teh snow >(live in rhode island) just wondering if I am going to need to change these >sooner rather than later. thanks! > >-Nick |
