buying tires

[lesch2k]

i am in cincinnati and i need new tires before the winter.

i drive a ford focus lx (2002) any suggestions on what type of tires to get.

i've never driven on snow or ice before, and i want something that will be good year round. i'm thinking about an all weather radial...

any good (discount) tire stores in the cincinnati area besides the national chains

Costco. Best price on good quality tires. Check out their Bridgestone or Michelin tires.

Michelin are top of the line...
I've heard Firestone executives reccomend them if that gives you any indication...

Bridgestone\Firestone are acceptable... Good tires are pretty important, don't skimp there.

have you checked tirerack.com

always been my place of choice to buy tires. prices are always pretty good. They have reviews on all the tires too so you can see which are good for ice/snow.

check tirerack.com, look at ratings for each tire in different conditions

hey,

i just moved out to cincy as well. it's a pretty good place to be. the U of Cincinnati is near the border and there is cheap housing in that area. i found that rent.com was a good place to look for places (although give them a spam email only) and if you sign a lease through them you get $100 after about 3 months.

I recommend getting the BFGoodrich Traction T/A H, which is H rated, has a 60,000 mile warranty, and better specs than the Michelins in all categories. That's what I just put on my wife's car, and they're superb! $66.50 at Sears...
