Tires FEDERAL or GISLAVED

another winter tire i was (am probably gonna get this week) is the Gislaved Nordfrost 5 (Part of the Continental Tire group). All ive been reading are great reviews and best bang for the buck.

formoza 165 45's.... i gotz 2 sets. they are great. and fairly cheap.

I got some Federal 215/40/18's from Josh @ Sterling Tire and I think they're great! They stretch well, have a bit of a lip protector and aren't loud. The traction is great, especially in the rain.

IIRC he said it dropped him like two more inches and it's VERY stiff.

The Gislaved snow tires and AWD came in very handy as rain turned to freezing rain and then snow along our route.

One of the front tires is leaking a small amount of air (5-10psi/ month) out of the valve stem and one rear lip is bent but still holds air.
