I would buy winter tires/rims and then regular street tires for your regular rims. Yeah, low profile tires do cost alot, but I have been very happy with my toyos proxes and they have lasted 35k.

Buy winter tires. I bought all season tires for the winter and i ended up going back to the same place and buying winter tires after the first real bad snow storm. Couldnt get up the hill that before my house. Had to wait for the snow plows. Even then i had a hard time. Get winter tires!!!

They are not a MS Tire IMO even if they say they are... Treat them as a Summer only Shoe.

any suggestions for a really good winter tire and a really good performance tire with high tread?

High Tread?

Like a Mud Blaster?

treadwear on them.for instance toyo proxes 4 has a 300treadwear on them so they last long

My girlfriend has toyo proxes on her msp after driving it in the rain i wouldnt recommend putting those on for rain tires never mind the snow thats just asking for a death wish

No They Wont.

They are rated based on straight line driving...

Because they are AA Traction and on a FWD car they might last 10,000 Mi..

Sucks but I have to agree, I've been lucky to get 25k out of mine. They did great in the Illinois and New Jersey winters though. Then again, I'm fairly cautious in the snow.

hmm...well i just got some blizzaks ws50 for the winter with rims.so i'll just have to look for some all season/summer tires next year.

Ive had proxes since october 04, and they are good tires. Good in rain, will get you through light snow and ice. Theyve lasted too, much better than the stock potenzas, but they arent nearly as grippy in dry, and the sidewalls are alot softer.

I tried them once in snow... never again! Most HP A/S tires are 3 seasons tires really. If you want a nice performing winter tire, try the Dunlop Winter Sport M3. It' awesome and feels like an A/S tire with very good traction in the snow.
