Hi,

I live in eastern Kansas and am looking to get winter tires for my AP1. I saw that Bridgestone makes Blizzak LM-25, Blizzak WS 60, and Winterforce for winter tires. I was wondering what were the positive and negative of their winter tires. I saw that Tirerack only has the WS 60 for the AP1 sizes. I noticed that the LM-25's tend to be cheaper. So I'm looking for advice on what to get, we get a few snow storms in the winter and sometimes get an ice storm or two.

I have had a few member's in my group recommend buying from Tirerack, and I was wondering if the prices or shipping at all flexible? After shipping they are about the same price as buying from the local dealership (including tax), but the dealership gives a discount on mounting and balancing. Thanks for your time!

 

Im also interested in this. i need some snow tires. from what i hear they're supposed to be awesome.

 

I think you will find that our prices are going to be less than local. We do not collect out of state sales tax on the orders and we have a list of installers that offer mounting fairly inexpensive. Depending on where you are the the LM series would be better if you do not get a lot of snow. If you get a lot of snow the WS60 would be the better option.
If I can help let me know.

 

i should be ordering a set of em from you guys sometime soon.

 

Do you offer the LM for a 2003 s2k?

 

The winterforce is a pos IMHO. The 60 rocks on real ice, and the 25 is great if they plow, but you get some ice.

 

If I could get prices on the LM for an ap1 that would be great, thanks!

 

The LM's are gone for the AP1. The only thing I have left is the run flat tires and you would not want to do that. If you are looking for a better handling witner tire I would look at the Dunlop Winter Sports. The Blizzak WS60 would give you better ice and snow traction
If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

I have the Dunlops, they do the job for me! I bought them from Jim too.

 

I concur-WS60 is amazing if you spend a lot of time on ice or deep snow. But not much fun in the dry. The Dunlop WinterSport is technically a snow tire, and does very very well in the snow, but you'd never know it in the dry-it's quiet, has decent grip, stiff sidewall, pretty fun when the snows not flyin....
