Winterizing the Car

Nov 09, 2009 19:40

Ordered some new winter tires today so I'll be able to cruise around with confidence as the rain and snow comes down. :)

Yokohama Ice Guard IG20


195/55R-15 85T BW


I went back to 195mm tires for the winter due to cost, availability, chains fit, and marginally better at resisting hydroplaning. I was actually on the fence over some 195mm Falken Eurowinters that have a slightly sportier dry tread or the 205mm Hankook Icebear, also with a sportier tread, but the sales guy sold me on the Yokohama's as the best winter performer with a dry performance that would still be just fine.
