I couldnt imagine azenis in the snow seeing as how I heard they suck in the rain

 

My favorite pic from Timberline . I got a lot of odd looks from people up there too. Unfortunately, my top was up so I cant say I got REALLY odd looks.

 

aaron with a top up sighting! lol

and yes azenis in the rain = the sucks

 

I never driven my S in the snow but do have experience with Blizzaks they great tires and did really well in the snow. Aaron has already proven that the Toyos work with the S, so that's a safe bet. Another good snow tire I hear about are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta. I would think any of these three are good tires. Another thing to think of is how much snow days does Portland really have? Only a few days. Although they did forecast for a really cold and wet winter this year.

 

what tires do you have sabre?

 

Toyo Observes from Schwabs

 

i want it to snow this year!! that would be rad

 

I found some used tires for sale, they are 205/55/16. Would it be ok to match 4 just for the winter? I dont really have 600$ to spend right now.

 

you'd be fine. You'd even be fine on the 195s.
I just think by changing the tires too much, you are compromising the "feel" you are already familiar with.

I think 205 all around would be just as undramatic as the stock stagger (provided you keep your foot light).

 

ive been told its okay to get them the same size all around that way you can rotate them and not have a problem
