Tires YOKOHAMA or Firestone

Check out Firestone Winterforce tires. Don't know where you're from but Tirerack lists them for $69 in 185/65/R15.

While not top of the line, these will get you through a lot of bad snow. The tread is deep enough and has a ton of small blocks to chew through snow and enough siping to get over ice.

i have 19x8's up front and 19x9.5's in the back, 215/35/19 yokohama s.drives all around. i've taken it up to about 135 mph so far and its super smooth.

I've had 512s, 912s, and currently S. Drives. I couldn't tell you which ones stretch better but performance wise, the Falkens don't come close to the Yoks. My car is a summer daily and the S. Drives are great in dry and wet conditions. Good luck.

S-Drives are by far the stickier tire. Much much stickier than the bull**** Falken. I still would not have a problem running a Falken for the pure look of it. Never would I get it for any performance oriented reason.

im running s drives on my 17x8 momos, 205 40. the stretch is minimal but these tires stick very well for the street.

I can't speak for the stretch as I have them on my stock bugatti's but the S.Drives are an extremely nice tire (at least for regular street driving). Got them on a couple months ago and love them. Wet and dry performance has been outstanding.

S.Drives NO QUESTION!!! I have had both. . . I will NEVER run those garbage falkens again. im running 195/40 16's on my 9's as we speak and they are 100% exactly what I have been looking for in a tire. the falkens were 100% opposite.

From personal expierence, the s.drives are a better tire, stretch slightly less but are a far better tire. the 512s are just good for stretching and thats about it.

A little spendier, but absolutely love my Yokohama S.Drives in 205/50/15. Best tires I've driven, hands down. They outperform the Dunlops in every condition, are queiter and stiffer sidewalls, don't squeal etc...

I still doubt it's the tires, although they are All season's Yokohama Avid H4S
