winter

I keep on finding mixed answers about rocking 205/65/15 for winter so I don't know if i'm able to do it. Currently I have 205/45/16 (stock mags) and it's fine, theres a pretty decent amount of wheel gap but it's stock. I'll adjust my braking distance accordingly once I get the tires on but I...

I am looking for a winter wheel and tire set for my wifes Mazda 5. I want at least 2 winters of tread left on the tires. I am willing to drive a short way to pick them up. Otherwise I'll ship them to 48382. We are located in Commerce Twp., MI 48382. Thank you for looking. Aaron

Driving down my street on the way to work this morning, the 4wd light on my dash was flashing. (Wonderful job on the streets, DPW.) We had a very light winter last year, so this might be the first time I've driven it in snow covered streets. I'm assuming that the flashing indicates that the...

Just moved to Michigan from Texas last month. We got whacked by a big snowstorm last weekend, and I got to drive my MS6 in the snow for the first time. I just have all-season rubber, but the car handles pretty good. I must admit that I am absolutely hooked on rotating and sliding. It's so...

Selling a set of 4 wheels with Hankook W404 Winter Radials. They have one more winter of life left in them. They served me well for several winters. I think these are even T speed rated. Tire size is 185-65-15. They are a narrower tire so they cut though the snow better than a wide tire. The...

I bought a brand new '09 GT Cx-9 about a week before the heavy snow fall that hit many parts of the east cost. I live at the top of a rather steep hill (about half a mile long). After the snow fall, the road up the hill was not properly plowed resulting in most of it being covered in very...

Hi there. I found winter tires 205/55/16 that were used on a 2005 Mazda 3. Can I use them on my 2009 Mazda 3? Do they use the same chassis/wheel axles, etc? Thanks.

I'm looking to buy winter tires for my 2009 Mazda 3 Sport GT. I found a set of Dunlops 215/60/16 with steel rims? Can I use these? I keep seeing that 205/55/16 is the size to use. mica

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of 4 snow tires for my 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 (size 215/45R18), preferably Blizzaks, preferably unused (maybe you bought a set and never put them on). Please PM me. Thanks.

Hi, I am in need of some snow/winter tires/rims for my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. I don't want to spend a lot, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution that will get me through a typical Vancouver, BC winter. Any suggestions? I don't care if the car ends up looking like crap for a couple months a...

Is there any real benefit to using a Wheel Wax? Just about to get some new winter rims and was wondering if anyone could give the thumbs up or down? If up - any specific brand you recommend?

As it reads, i'm looking for any type of rims that have snow tires mounted on them. I just bought a 2010 MS3 and know i'm not even gonna be able to move in 1" of snow on these tires. I'd rather zip off my current rims with the impact wrench and swap out rims/tires then have snows mounted on...

WTB: new/very good condition 17" wheels/rims for '05 Mazda 3 Hatch to use for winter. With good tires on also an option. What you got?
