Sooooo. I drive for Uber and I'm thinking I should get winter tires to ensure I can keep working on any given day.
I have NEVER looked at winter compounds before. Any of you northern-living folk have any solid recommendations? I would say my biggest concern is price first. My Uber is a business, so it's all about margins. I drive about 12K miles every 3 months, so far, so I expect they'll only make it through a season. That being said, I don't want to save $200 just to have a wreck. Any of y'all have any recommendations before I throw my nose into the internet research?

That said, they're not cheap. These days even cheaper snow tires work far better than all seasons with snow and ice.. But suffer in wet and dry a little compared to the best all season tires. Tradeoffs. |

Had to laugh...
I was on the Planet-9 site doeing a bit of Cayman research when I happened to run across a thread bitching about the "torque dip" at around 2500 RPM on the base 6 cylinder engines...
