I am probably going to be leaving my Xtreme wheels on the S10 for winter and was wondering whats a good snow tire? We get a real good amount of snow with a lot of the back roads unplowed and hilly.

Thanks guys!

err, Park the Xtreme, and buy a snowmobile w/ the cash you would spend on tires?

lol, its a regular S10 and already got 4 sleds...

I just need tires for this beast! Being 16 with only 1 ride sucks!

i'm actually havin 4 new tires slapped on my stockers right now for winter.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's

pretty damn good ratings for such a cheap tire... IHMO

And would I need to buy 4 new ones or just for the rear? There 2003 tires/rims with less then 5000 miles on...

yep... those are both a good choice for snow and ice. the blizz's are quite popular!

i just went with the Indys... cuz snow here is kinda hit or miss... some years are worse than others. plus since MD isnt like a frozen tundra... the stuff melts fairly quickly.

had the stock tigerpaws on for last years winter and swore i'd never drive on them again. hehe

oh and as far as 2 or 4... i'd go with 4... ya gotta be able to turn too...
