colbywan Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah I feel ya.... good luck on your search, I totally love the Hankooks I have. Funny thing is after that winter and my beemer doing awesome and my wife's 3 doing terrible I got her some michilen x-ice. I always thought michilens were great so figured I couldn't go wrong. The tires do very well in the snow ice and pretty much all types of cold weather road but no better than my hankooks did and I thought that the miches had more sidewall flex making them slightly less stable at high speeds (something she didn't notice) that if I had to do it again I would've got the hankooks... Plus my mom has Blizzaks on her lincoln ls that she swears by but I know that my BM did every bit as good if not better. And I figured that was a good way to compare tires because my BM and her LS both are very similar in weight proportioning and both are rear wheel drive and have very many other similarties. Just one more reason why I decided that blizzaks aren't worth their cost which at the time was about double the money the hankooks were. -Colby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've used the hankook i-pike's and the bridgestone blizaks. both are excellent tires. No experience with the other's listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Discounttiredirect.com - UPS Ground shipping is free/included in their price. Besides, car tires shipped from Tire Rack are usually about $35-45 for a set of 4...not bad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Heh, precise, you know I have a point. A Subaru Legacy is NOT an SUV, and I want to give my darling every advantage in the snow... she's the love of my life and I worry about her.. wouldn't you do the same for your wife/girlfriend? No worries, I was agreeing with you!! And yeah, the GF has the better of everything... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittamaru Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) We were looking at one in the area... but apparently it had issues of some sort because the dealership wouldn't sell it... the Subaru, literally, fell in our lap Besides, it's nice having a quick, sporty car that still works well in winter Edited February 18, 2009 by Kittamaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
