shopping for winter wheel/tires... so it seems like my wife's cx-5 could use passenger car tires or light truck tires (which are more expensive) is the only real difference going to be the theoretical max load? i feel like car tires should be better than truck tires, all things considered

you end up decreasing the wheel diameter which is accommodated by increasing the sidewall height so that you end up with a wheel diameter that is very close to your original wheel diameter

well i was GOING TO buy some 17's to serve as winter wheels for my wife's CX5 but then these oem 19" wheels popped up on CL and the price was plummeting daily. he said they were from a friend who bought a new cx5 and had the dealer put aftermarket wheels on it before they took delivery all 4 with lugs for 360 is good

saw this today: https://www.discounttiredirect.co...flash-sale 100 off select sets of tires. can be doubled with mfr rebates. (see website for which brands of tires are on sale) I think its time for some Michelin PS4S! 170 off the set and free shipping. very unfortunate that DTD charges sales tax in my state.

LRADIKAL posted:I've been quoted $57 and $60 per TPMS sensor for my car. woah there's no real need to change your wheel size to -1 on a new electric vehicle. a lot of that advice applies to performance cars (or people who like to push their shitbox cars to the limit  what is wrong with the tires you currently have? are they already worn down?

LRADIKAL posted:Is there a way for me to decide when to put winter tires on? When it starts raining? When the temps get below 45? When snow is threatening? november is probably a good time also dont go to les schwab for anything other than getting a flat fixed. their prices are bad and selection is...weird. discount tire or costco are much better bets. or tirerack.com

rscott posted:I think I'm just going to go with the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ im on my second pair (i really like them) for an all season they are a good compromise but i dont think they'll handle ice that well. moderate snow is probably fine for the first 2 winters but once you wear them down to a certain point they wont be good in the snow.

McTinkerson posted:I'm downsizing from 18" wheels to 17" wheels. The stock tire size is 225/45/18 on a 8" wide wheel. you could also try 235/45R17, -2.7% difference in diameter but a bit of a stretch on a 9" wide wheel. otherwise 245/45R17 as jamal mentioned is better, at -1.2% difference in diameter.

RIP Paul Walker posted:Am I crazy or are cheap factory take-offs available for sale no longer as common as they used to be? I'm trying to find some wheels for snow tires for my Hyundai and it's been hard to find 17's instead of 16's or 18's. Alternatively, how annoying is it to deal with the cheap aftermarket wheels that require centering rings because the center bore is so huge? bummer, I only see a 110 discount anyone have input on Conti dsw06 plus vs Michelin AS4?

Racing Stripe posted:I'm gonna need new tires pretty soon, but I've probably got a few thousand miles before it's urgent. Is my best money-saving (or best value, let's say) play to order from Tire Rack and pay someone to put them on the car for me? If I go to a used tire place, are they likely to give me anything for my old tires if they're on the top end of the yellow rating from the dealership? tire rack can be really expensive, because they charge for shipping. if it's not urgent discounttiredirect (not the usual discount tire site) stocks a lot of brands and frequently has sales.

TheBacon posted:How would people feel about running PS4S all winter in the Seattle area? I’m moving before the end of the year from the Bay Area where I have never had to worry about cold. On the handful of potential snow days I would just not drive, and otherwise I wouldn’t really be doing any spirited driving while it was cold and wet, just errands and the like. I will be bringing the OEM wheels with runflats with me that still have a meh amount if tread left but I would prefer to not have to swap them on. you can get by but stay home if its 42 or less out. will you have protected parking? those tires shouldnt be exposed to cold weather at all, much less driven in it.

if you dont need tires immediately its worth it to get a discount tire card and be ready to buy something on sale. the card gets 5% off plus whatever rebates, ect is going on at the moment.
