Anyone need snow tires?
I have a set of 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks that are taking up space in the basement. They only have one season on them and should be good for at least 4 more (probably more but I'm low balling here). Will fit no problem, drove all winter 2 winters ago, but didn't want to subject my car to the salt any more than it needed.

I never locked up the brakes with these, no flat spots and I think the rears only spun once, that was on a wet road when I rolled over some lane markings.

Details:

225/60 R16
Bridgestone Blizzak WS-15
Non-directional snow tire.

These tires are amazing, even with an L98 they would take off from a dead stop in 6" of fresh snow with no weight in the back at all.

$200 for the set, which is about 1/2 what they would be new.

I can vouch for the effectiveness of snow tires on fbods. They make it handle like my WRX did in the snow. Well, kinda.

So, NO ONE needs/wants snow tires? You don't have to put them on an f-bod, any car with same rolling radius will work

Too bad I didn't see this because I would've subdued.

I went and got some BFG G-Force T/A KDWSs though and they're amazing.

Well 245s would be direct swaps, but for a snow tire (or just traction in the snow), the narrower you go, the better. In essence it allows you to 'cut' through the snow.

BTW, the fit great on 16x8 wheels.
