New Tires

I'm currently a delivery driver for Pizza Hut, so having good tires is a must, especially for this upcoming winter season. But I'm also a college student so being on a budget is a must also lol.

I'm looking at the Pirelli P4's. They seem to have great traction wet and dry and are right up my alley for my budget.

Any other suggestions?

Would a wider tire effect gas mileage much?

Good tire, decent price. Used 'em for a year or so. According to SDAIDOJI, you can pick Firestone twin for a cheaper price.

Re: New Tires

for snow traction you want a skinnier tire. Read tire rack's threads on winter tires. They have survey reviews for different tires for different conditions. I had success with the Blizzaks I dunno if they make them anymore. In south dakatoa you may as well use mud tires with the amount of snow yall get

Re: New Tires

I'm also in Rapid and I purchased some Michelin Primacy MXV4's (195/60R15) back in September for my 04 Coupe. Hardly any snow on the ground so far this year, but the dry/wet traction and overall ride quality is phenomenal with these tires. I replaced near tread-less Goodyears and it's crazy how much better these tires feel. Much smoother ride, quiet, and I'm excited to see how they perform this winter. I'd highly recommend them, the only downside is their price. I've heard good things about the General Altimax HP's, and they're a little less pricey. Good luck in your search!
