I am trying to decide between these two tires for the winter car. Anyone have experience with both? And what would you go with.
Winter Force @ $51per tire…

Or…
Blizzak WS-50 @ $67per tire…

They don’t make them in the size I need.
both arent BAD tires
from what ive noticed the winterforce tires wear down pretty fast, but are cheap
How much faster? Enough to make it worth paying for the Blizzak’s?

dumb to waste your money unless you plan on doing extended runs of 100+ in the winter
No s4 in the snow again?

Too low for snow, and too lazy to raise it back up. This is why I have a winter beater. Are you ready for this seasons winter drift meets?
I used to have the WS-50 and I loved them. DO they make hakkas in your size?
blizzak revos ftw i ran those dunlop garspicsp2 and winterforces. i like the revos because they still handled at the end of the day
hakkas?
winterforces ftw
i know friends who have ran them for 3 winters or so… if its a beater, go for the cheapest way out ha

Meh I know one thing that comes into play is sidewall stiffness(when its actually dry out). I know the 195 winterforces that are on the car i’m driving for the winter have scary sidewall flex with the correct tire pressure…
Ive ran both, WS-50’s where better. Seemed to pull up the hills of Holland better and didn’t feel as sloppy as the winter force tires. For around town, flat ground, either will be great.

Nokian hakkapelittas <spelling>
The best but most expensive.
I’ve been running my RSi’s all summer.:banghead:
I’m looking at a 205/70-14 and from what I see my options are limited on brand. But I am still undecided. I don’t really expect anything out of them for dry performance handling, it would be nice to have, but in the end it is a winter tire and nobody should expect it to do both IMO. If I wasnt so cheap this would be an easy decision.
hankook winter tires are teh best i ever had
all seasons are good enough in the snow…so almost any tire made for just snow will work. i say get the cheapest…no need to get the best studded snows out there when like i said, any all season tire will work.
