    My car currently sits on a set of hpf summer tires and I have been looking for a decent set of winter tires that will offer some traction in cooler weather .What are you running ? I don't drive in the snow or ice I'm really looking for suggestions for tires that will offer some dry pavement traction in the winter months so suggest away !

    Last winter I used General Tire altimax (I think that's the name) winter tires. They were good for the weather but not good for traction with power. Even on my little log setup they struggled to grip in third gear, and are only rated to 100mph, although I went above that a couple times :hiding:

    Ya I wouldn't suggest the ones I have then. I got mine because it is my DD and I need it to be able to get through a light snow if necessary.
