personally I think toyo makes some of the best tires on the market ... and not a bad price too.

Their performance summer tires were the best on the market at one point. I think their winters are good too and good bang for the buck. I've been using the older snow proxes s950 for about 4 years and I'd still use them but they won't fit my car now.

The HT garits were really good and popular too as a cheaper alternative.

Pirellis, Bridgestone and Goodyear/Dunlops make good tires but you will pay a little more for their marketing, but I think toyo is still a good brand and I don't think you can go wrong with them.


you should double check if 16s can fit over your brakes. Do you have sport pack?

Picked up Gislaved Northfrost 5s and replica rims from Simply Tires. Great shop and good pricing. They are opened 6 days a week and closed on Mondays.

I've had great experiences with Hankook Icebear W300's. I'd classify them as a winter performance tire. Very good on my WRX and my dad's 3-series.

I love my Hakkapeliitta R snow tires. I drive up snow covered hills in my 335i without any problems, around the stuck city buses. A bit expensive, but worth it.

Consumer reports rated the Toyo Observe in the bottom third - good for extreme weather, if dry andling and noise don't concern you.

Michelin's new Xice Xi2 got first, General's Artimax #2, Nokian #3. Blizzak #7.
