- I have an Eagle Talon AWD with Dunlops Sp 8000's on it. These tires are
- no good for winter (At least that's what everyone says), so I had planned
- to change-over to the original Goodyears GT +4's for winter.
-
- But now I have another option, I could sell these tires and get real
- Winter tires for winter. I have been told that good performace Winter tires
- (Pirelli 210's) will not only be better in the snow, but will grab much
- better than any other tire during the winter time temperatures. Can I
- expect winter tires to grab better than the GT+4's in the city, were there
- is no snow, but it is still pretty cold?
-
- I live in Boston, and tend to go skiing in Maine very often,
- so I'm kind of leaning towards the winter tires, but I just want to know
- what I'm getting into... Will I win in all counts in going to a winter
- tire, or will I 'loose' something? What about in the 'in-between'
- winter and summer time, which tire should I use?
-
- Remember, I already have GREAT summer tires, so these tires will only be
- used in winter... (And I know that AWD will help, but I kind of drive hard
- all the time, and I don't think I'll slow down much in winter, so I can use
- all the grip I can get.)
-
- If you have any experience with the type of tire I'm thinking
- of getting I would be very interested in hearing about it!
-
- Thanks ahead for any replies....
