What are the best tires for winter weather on my late model? Skiddn all everyplace on these factory turds.
Depends on what your driving conditions are like - how much snow/ice do you see, what the ambient temperatures are like. There are a number of tire options - best place to start is to use some online resource, like Tirerack or similar.
From the sounds of it - might be better to go with a dedicated winter tire. The ones they have now are just short of a studded tire. Some can be studded for a small fee - if you live in an area that gets that much snow/ice and DOT rules allow running a studded tire.
It snowed 2 inches in late december here in Washington State. I was driving a 2005 prius and driving slowly downhill in a residential area. With the brakes applied, the best the Falken all season tires could do is maintain speed. The Prius could not come to a complete stop. This freaked my gf out as we also understeered and oversteered. That said, I bought some winter tires for my 2001 Corolla knowing full well what a FWD car can do with all seasons. Driving through slush is just fine with all seasons. Good luck with shopping.
