Cheap snow tires?

[MyLonewolf25]

I need something better than the stock hankooks badly after the horrible drive today in slush and ice
But for now I just need something cheap for my stock wheels
Any help?
I'm looking for more cheap than anything right now

Later after I save some money I'm going to get the biggest wheel and tire combo I can for summer and keep the stock alloys for winter beating

What do you consider cheap? What size wheel do you have? I cant tell for sure on my computer but it kinda looks like a 15" wheel.

Altmax winter tires are relatively cheap..

It's the 15"
I just need something super cheap since im running low on $$

So cheap is cheap as possible that will get me to my job through the Wisconsin winter and survive the summer

Getting "all season tires" other than "Hankooks" would work better in the snow. Unless you're looking to swop between snow / summer tires, then I have nothing.

Keep an eye out at Walmart, they sometimes have sale on their cheap no name brand tires . They may not be the best long term option but should be just as good as the expensive tires for at least the first 2 winter seasons. But u may want to get them mounted and balanced somewhere else. Unless u know and trust the person doing the work. 2 years ago I picked up 4 16" winter tires for 59 bucks a tire . The tires worked great but I did have the go to another shop to get them rebalanced cause the guy at Wally World did such a great job lol . The brand was General but I think the brand vary from year to year. You could also look for a shop like "on the rim again" a used tire shop that sells tires with minimum 80%tread life left.

Tires are always the one thing we tell people to not cheap out on. You get what you pay for, I would say spend the money and don't hold out.

So I can eventually get good ones

The problem with that, is you'll end up buying something that won't perform well, then pay again to purchase something else. Not to mention having to pay labour again to have them installed.

Try and find something cheap used if you can.

True
But theses aren't my summer tires that I'm going to get eventually and drive the **** out of
I just need something to last me maybe the winter at most before I get rid of them because I hate running ****ty tires

Trust me
I know ****ty tires is a bad thing
That's why I'm trying to find a decent pair of all seasons if I can


On another note
Anyone know of a good place to compare tires? And see reviews on them?

Have you looked on Craigslist or something? People sell used winter rubber for pretty cheap especially 15's. You can also call auto wreckers. Tell them what you need most of the time they have random tires for $25-40 a piece. You may get 4 different brands but all winter tires.... it's an option

That is actually a link to a Tire Rack page but for some reason shows up as "using cookies" on my screen.

It is getting a little late for buying winter tires so availability can become scarce fairly quickly.

Yea I'm finding that the hard way, I can probably live if I rotate my tires
I know I can if I do some tread modifications
( off-roaders have been doing it for years and never had a problem) so I may do that and see how it goes
But all else fails I just need a couple for the front tires #fwd life
Because literally anything would do better than the stock **** nuggets we get

Also quick question
Would I be able to run the 205
I know I run the 195 stock...
I'm just thinking out out here at this point in it though

Also to note I will be partial to firestone because I have a shop close to me and free rotation and rebalancing for them ( and Bridgestone I believe I'm not 100% certain though)

Firestone*Champion Fuel Fighter (H- or V-Speed Rated)
General*Altimax Arctic
Firestone*Firehawk AS
Sumitomo*HTR A/S P02 (H- or V-Speed Rated)
Firestone*Winterforce

Right now I'm leaning towards the fire hawk or the winter force

But I'm also tempted by the htr

Thoughts?

I've run the Firestone Winter Force tires, huge improvement over the stock tires on snow and ice.

How were they?
Did you use them outside of winter at all?

I'm just worried about them destroying themselves out of winter
I'm learning towards the firehawk as for that reason
I've heard that Winters's can be kinda crappy and grabby outside of winter
