FS: Snow Tires

Tommyboy · 12-03-2007, 01:49 PM

First off, i got my old name back, and second, i do have a set of snow tires collecting dust in my garage. I have two Cooper Winter Cobras i beleive which were used for a season, and two Bridgestone Potenza's EL400 or something like that which i used on the backs (all seassons). The Coopers have about 85-90% tread life left and the backs have about 80% i would say. They are mounted on stock fan blades so the tires are 15". They worked AMAZING last year, honestly i would drive in the storms because i wanted to see if i could get stuck, they are great winter tires. I am looking for $200 for the set to get them out of my garage and i am firm on that. PM me or E-mail me at Av10sguy@yahoo.com. I am located in Savage, the tires are located at Apple Valley. This is for a Pick up only.. no shipping! Thanks!

I'd be all over those if I didn't have Taras' old winter tires.

When it snowed the other day, it was the first time I had driven on winter tires. I was amazed.

Yeah, it's crazy. I was very disappointed the other day cuz I couldn't get the a$$ end to break loose (FWD drift

) I found some roads near my place that were decently deserted, it's hard to find a totally deserted street near DT mpls, but I found a pretty good S shaped road in the business district. It took a few tries, but I can now drift her in the snow

It's nice with the snow tires because you can control when you want to stop sliding. As soon as you give it some gas, she straightens back up. It feels sweet! Much nicer than my old cougars tires. With that one, you pulled the ebrake and it took a few seconds of gas before it would straighten out.

Dude, we HAVE to take out your WRX! I will show you some sick roads

And some isolated parking lots.
