  • Good snow/all season tires

    The subject says it all. Right now I've got Firestone Firehawk's on my Firebird, and they are doing nothing in terms of traction. I was always under the impression that these were all season tires with decent snow traction...I was wrong. They're fine on dry roads, they're really good in rain...but when it comes to snow, they suck terribly. No traction at all. I was just wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions for some good all season tires that'll help me out a little when I need some traction in this snow?

      Do not get Sumitomo HTR+ if you are looking for snow traction. My last set of tires were these. Not enough traction to get you around safely in the snow. That is unless you do not planning on exceeding 10mph and you don't get more than two inches of snow.

        All season does NOT mean snow.
        Check out the TireRack web site.
        They've got some good info there.
        I just put Blizzak's on my Cavalier, and they're fantastic in the snow.
