need winter tires!!
i was looking on tire rack and i cant really decide on anything.
ill be driving in cleveland where lake effect snow is EXTREMELY prevelant and im be driving on the highway a LOT. i need something good on ice and in snow..
ill say ive got around 300hp at the tires (give or take 10%). ill most likely use the stock wheels. so whats my best option. im not wanting to spend over 500.

winter tires
I had Bridgestone Blizzaks on my GSL-SE and it was the best handling car on ice and snow that I've ever experienced. I highly recommend them to everyone, I could squeel my tires on ice!

I put some cheap Hancook snow tires on the Audi a couple of years ago. Turned it into an unstoppable tank. Blizzaks are better, I'm sure, but I'm not sure if they are so much better as to justify the cost....

First thing's first, for winter driving you'll want to turn the boost down as much as possible to help control wheel spin.
Blizzaks (not the performance ones_ are probably the best option for all out snow and ice traction. Performance snows give up a lot of snow and ice traction in exchange for the better dry road handling.
That could be taken a couple ways, as in it was a heavy car that didn't stop when you stepped on the brakes, or it was able to get through any conditions without issue.

lol, I see what you mean. What I meant is, busting through 4 foot snow drifts at 3 am on the way to work. Stopping the car was no issue, and I even drove on them year round for two years without any complaint on road noise or dry pavement handling...

I use the Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 on my BMW for winter tires. They are a little less hardcore than the Blizzaks which gives them some good performance on dry roads. In my area, we only get a handful of decent storm storms during winter. If you don't get a lot of snow in your area, the Dunlops would work well. If you get a ton of snow all winter long, the Blizzaks would be a better fit.

My Audi was only front wheel drive, but it was heavy as a tank. The car was still driveable on the old all seasons that it came with, but when I put the Hancooks on it was a day/night difference...
