coladin, good choice on the blizzak... one of the best tire out there.

But dont be lazy too bro, go find yourself a winter beater instead... j/k lol! Saw you driving the other day on Preston, what a black beauty on 19's... I'd be afraid to get her dirty in mud & snow... especially u have tan interior.

yaaa sorry guys, i posted the thread before looking at the other ones. My dealership is giving me pirellis for $1200, but i know some people that can get me any tires for 50% off.
My dealership told me they put on continentals or pirellis, so I thought since they give those, they must be the best for the car.

Pirelli and Continental winters will not be great in deeper snow/slush but great on cold dry pavement. You just need to decide what is more important to you.

Thanks!

I actually like my 18s for winter, very nice ri for the price. I could never drive a beater. Would my payments stop while I drive a beater? LOL, no...so I'll drive the thing!

I lease so I will enjoy every month that I have, 29 left I think and happily return it and get my CLS63 (hopefully!). If I owned the car? I don't think either way I could park it. But that's just me...I know a lot of people do, like you!

W 60 Blizzaks worked great. Worn out one season. Now Michelin Alpine no snow to test yet.
