Snow tire recommendations? Posted by Saabpilot [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Got the "new" '03 Aero home in my garage. She came with summer performance tires and since it's finally decided to snow and get cold here in Ohio, I need snows. The car has the 17" Aero wheels.
My salesman sold me a set of 16" 9-5 wheels he had in his personal stock with a set of Gislaveds on them. The only problem is that these were on a car he totalled and one of the tires has a huge gash in it. I can't find another Gislaved locally, so what I'm looking to do is put two of the Gislaveds on the rear and two new snows on the front, unless any of you with 9-5 experience would advise otherwise.
Locally I have found Hankook Winter iPike W409 available at Discount Tire, with a bunch of good online reviews on their web site. Either that or Goodrich Traction T/A's (a tire I know well). Anyone have experience with the Hankooks? They're $103 each plus installation.
I don't have the time to order tires and have them shipped...I need to find something in stock that I can put on in a "now" kind of time frame, so these are my best two local alternatives without going up in price substantially. Any an all advice is most appreciated.
Thanks!!
