Owner reviews for tires

Absolutely blown away by how confidence inspiring this car becomes in the winter with these on! We just got a few inch dusting and the stability is absolutely fantastic - this is my first time driving a RWD sports car in inclimate winter weather/temps, but seriously, this feels better than pretty much any other car I've driven with all seasons in this kind of weather. These tires shred in the snow.

The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.

I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.

Altimax Arctic 12s on steelies has been my winter outfit for the last decade. Handles Kansan winters just fine, as well as my hilly driveway. Drove through Loveland Pass during a blizzard, no problems.

If you don\u2019t want to switch out and have 2 sets of wheels I\u2019d go with Nokian remedy wrg5

But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.

Throw some Nokian Hakka's on it and let it rock.

My Conti's are also very good but do not inspire confidence at high speed turn rates when I cannot feel the breakaway point; makes me nervous, I want a smooth transition into a slide so I can control the location of my vehicle!

I got Nexen N5000 225 60 r18. It's slippery on wet surface (I can feel it especially on solid paint lines in the middle of the road) Got it 2 years now, and will never buy nexen again.

I had a total blow out with one tire while pulling the trailer empty. Total miles on the tires was maybe 300 max. Now (2025), I have probably less than 1500 miles on the trailer and another Goodride tire needs replacing.
