telemachus Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I know this has been done many times, but I can't seem to find a thread specific enough to the GT. Anyone out there have recommendations for the 205/55 16's? I can't see spending over $100 per tire, but I don't necessarily want a sissy H-rated tire either. Any help is much appreciated.

nickb21 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I guess the real question is do you want all-seasons, or will you be using dedicated snows? Best bang for the buck, I think, are the BFG Traction T/A's. I'm currently using some Yokohama Avid V4's that I'm happy with as well. They're both okay in the snow, but not nearly as good as dedicated snows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrCharlie Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm running a set of Toyo Proxes 4 on my 99 Legacy GT. I've been very pleased with overall grip and handling so far. I believe they are V or W rated. They seem really good for the money too, at around $350 for the set installed. Haven't had them in the snow yet- mixed reviews out there. I've run snow tires on all my previous cars, but they were also RWD BMWs which could barely move when it snowed. These might be good enough for the occasional snow we get when mixed with AWD, at least to get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Kuhmo makes great tires for the price. Look into the ASX if you want an all season tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemachus Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I will be running all-seasons. I feel like I don't really need snows in Boston with the Sube. Thanks for the recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
