Bought new tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 205/50R16. Yeah, it is not stance size, but I'm very bored of driving my static low Corrado with low profile tyres, and would like to enjoy the driving R36 engine without slow down before every pit
Generally these purchases have been stuff that there was no way whatsoever to get locally: Yokohama AVS Intermediate in my 240SX's stock 15" size.
I've had it happen to me from Discount Tire, but luckily they were closeout and discounted already. They were my previous set of Geolander ATS for my Forester. Awesome tires though, never had an issue in 55k miles.
I use Blizzak DMV2 (suv version of the WS80) on my Santa Fe. Unstoppable in deep snow, but that has mattered maybe twice so far this winter. On ice they have been better than my all seasons, but they have not been incredible.
I found the Bridgestone tire to be alittle more forgiving and last longer. The grip on these tires are both amazing and hard to tell them apart on snow and ice.
After taking the WS80's out in some snow and firm hardpack, I am very impressed.
I do like the PSS much more than my old Bridgestones. They are so much quieter. I'm sure I'll very much enjoy the next 10-12K miles I get out of them.
I have the IceGuards on my RWD Solstice GXP and they've worked great over the past two snowy winters. I haven't noticed any problem in the wet either.
It's the stock tire on my Prius. I'd never put it on my other cars by choice, but it seems to suit the Prius just fine. Never had any issues with tracking. Of course the steering feel is terrible, but that's the story with the entire car.
I went wit Nitto 555s on the GLIwhich has a much bigger tracttion problem than the R's....huge ride, trn-in and traction improvement. OEM there was the rimprotectors known as Bridgestone RE050As in 225/40/18....horrible crap.
