What’s everyone riding this year? On a 240 or any other car. I need a set for the daily (Sentra - 185/6x/14) so looking at what’s out there. Please mention make, model, size, cost and where you got them from? I saw these in this weekend’s Walmart flyer. Buddy of mine said to just get whatever - Nexens would be fine. Thinking about the Nexen Winterguard 231 (shown on the right below) ( IByougetwhatyoupayfor :o ) : ![http://www.gonrad.com/200910/nexen.jpg](http://www.gonrad.com/200910/nexen.jpg) ---

i work at walmart and sell a lot of those nexens. its true, you get what you pay for. but all in all, these tires are pretty good especially for their price. im buying a set myself, and sold a couple sets to random 240 owners too. not to mention our warranty is pretty key: free rotation, tire repair and wheel balancing after the first initial payment haha. (mind you i dont like representing walmart but whatever). get em while you can. ---

If you’re running skinnies, check out Crappy Tire, I picked up a set of Goodyear Winter Nordics (specially made for Crappy), for under $200 taxes in for my Civic last year, and I was extremely happy with them. ---

i’ve always enjoyed my winters running on dunlop graspic ds2’s. the rubber compound itself is really soft compared to other winters and for the price you can’t complain. sometimes walmart puts these on sale too (typically just after christmas i find). ---

IMO if you buy the cheapest winter tire out there, it will still be better than an all season. winter tires for the win! ---

No matter how good the tires I buy are, the 240 still has little traction compared to heavier cars I’ve driven. I ran Michellin X-Ices at the back and some random winters at the front, my braking (more like sliding and buzzing) distance was on avg. 1.5x than that of my dad’s oldsmobile with all seasons. wtf? lol ---
