All I know is that anybody that is looking for a winter setup should really do it sooner than later. I don't have any other hook ups so If you know someone maybe inquire & see how it goes.

Are you thinking of just getting winter tires on the stock wheels or steelies & tires?


Prices on 1010tires

Steelies 16X6.5 are $69.99 each.

Winter tires 205/55/16

Dunlop Graspic DS-3's $141.99 each

Hankook W409 Winter i-Pike $149.99 each (heard these aren't great in wet/slush though)

Bridgestone Blizzak WS-70's $176.00 each (been in a few cars with these on & seem real good)

Not versed at all on TPMS so this will be an additional cost a long with mounting & balancing.
I really wish I didn't have to get the steelies; but I won't be able to wear out my the Primacy's before winter (with normal driving conditions lol)

Most likely will be getting some cheap cheap steelies if I cannot find a set of rims.

Also, I've used Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow II on my AE86 before and they grip the snow very good...
