rweddy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Anyone know anything about these tires? I am looking for some new tires and these are cheap and look great. -R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point2 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I recently got a set (with a $50 rebate) from Tire Rack 215/60/16 for my wifes car. They only have a few thousand miles on them, but so far so good. They ride and handle well. Looking forward to trying them in the snow - the tread pattern should do well.

Yea that is what made me look at them also I can get a set of 205/70 15 for $250 from tire rack including shipping. I was going to get a set of Geolandar A/T-S but they cost $25 more per tire. Anyone else have any thoughts on these tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strakes Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 A friend of mine has them on his Nissan Sentra. His commute is about 50 miles each way to work, and he bought them back in May. He's put on a few thousand miles on them already. He's not a car nut like me, so he was just looking for a good basic all-season and is pleased with it. I've ridden around in his car with them, and they seem fine as well. They don't seem to excel in any one area, but are really good all around.

I don't want to have two sets of tires for winter summer. I will take a loud tire that does great in dirt and snow. Any ideas how this does in snow-mud-dirt?

pearlm30 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I am interested in the Sp60 as well. Sounds like they have the rebates till the 20th and the price range is pretty good. Anyone else has any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobtank Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I recently bought these for my wifes 2008 Impreza. They are a littel louder than the stock tires but handle great. I think they are 215/50/17. They are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdrsubaru Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) i got them on my wagon last Jan... Awsome traction on the snow and ice.. i mean very good to the point that the abs didnt have to kick on... the only complain i have is that they are noisy... lots of road noise when going at 40 to 50.. EDIT: they are good offroad too Edited September 15, 2008 by njdrsubaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buick350X Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Never seen a Sp60 I got SP Sport 5000s on my Firebird, lasted foreever and had good grip rain snow or shine. Drive in deep snow with no problems. But can't get them in a 15 anymore. I am running Fuzion HRi now. Nice tires, good grip and tread depth. The pic on the web don't do them any justice. I got only 2 so far but was $141 shipped to my house from Tirerack Then took em down to Walmart to be installed, $21.50 to mount n balance two tires. Gonna order two more Fuzion HRi before winter. I drive my Bird yr round and up to 2ft of snow, around 3ft its just plows. Then I have fun in the Sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlm30 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I was about to order 4 sp60 tires until I see the white strip side wall style??? What is this? I thought they all come with black??? Also saw the size of 215/70/15 is $60 per tire( $3 less than 205/70/15) Will I do any harm to the AWD system if I increase the width? Please help Thanks That is what I wanted to hear!

njdrsubaru Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 yes they do have the white strip on them, i just had them installed with the white in. Wider tires would not effect your AWD, but mismatched tires will. then again i dont think 215s will fit on a outback, i have outback suspension on my Lego and very little space left between the sidewall and strut neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
