I'm looking to buy a set of RX8 OEM wheels + tires (winter OR all season tires). I'm located in Minnesota, 55369. PM me with price+shipping and some pictures. If possible, I want the tires life no less than 8.

OR
If anyone has any 18" wheels wrapped with all season OR winter tires, just PM me with pictures, I might interested in them depending on the style of the wheels.

My car is 2004 Mazda 6s. Bolt pattern should be 5x114.3

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the info. The one on this forum is summer tires, which is not possible for me to use in Minnesota during winter. But I don't know the one on the craigslist. Do you know what type of factory tires that they use on RX8?

I was driving from impound lot yesterday (my car got towed coz snow emergency thing), and hit the brake too late on the trafic light and almost hit the university bus!! So I think I really need winter tires, but I don't know about all season tires. Does anyone know if all season tires work well on snow?
I'm a noob....

thanks

A couple reveiws. Som ok but not a recomended tire for snow. I run nitto ne gens and they "suck" in snow by the ratings but if you drive like you gat a brain you are fine. Ask some of the 8 guys around you.
