Well here they are. My new winter tire setup. They are some cheap 17s with 225/55/17 hankook tires. They were pretty cheap compared to some more pricey Michelin/Blizzak versions but they will do. I noticed they handle excellent on dry pavement which is nice because i would hate to sacrafice all of my cornering! My Orig. setup is 19s with 245/45/19. Bridestone REO50A's. I'm usually not a fan of Bridgestone (waaay to loud usually) but these are allright. Btw i know they are not the most highly regarded brand of tires but hey im not taking clover leafs at 50mph in the winter! Let me know what you guys think!

 

Btw i got them from discount tire....

Yeah i would believe that. For the price i just thought i would give it a try. Plus the manager said if i got them on and didnt like them he would put something else on for me and i would just have to pay the difference for the new tires so.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      About the only GM that compares well with its competitors through the small to midsize vehicles is the Trax. I would like nothing better to just drive GMs. My wife in a Cadillac me in a Chevy minivan and Colorado. Part of my day is comprised of reading and watching comparisons of automobile. I could buy a car today. I’m back to research the next.
