Blizzaks or Goodyear Nordics snow tires? Going with the Blizzaks WS-60's!

[Q-Ball]

I'd save a bit of money going with the nordics. Canadian Tire has them on sale.

 

GOODYEAR NORDIC* P205/70R15 95S Reg price, each $97.99 Sale price, each $85.49

 

Or I can get a Bridgestone Blizzak 215/70R15 for $134 installed and balanced each.

 

Update, getting the blizzaks.

I can garentee you 85.49 does NOT include installation. Once your done, you're looking at the same price almost. Go with the better tire.

x2. Ive heard nothing but good from those Blizzak's. I would rather have a 205 for a winter tire, but if you can only get them in 215 thats still ok.

Canadian tire tire prices Generally include installation, just not balancing. We have a set of nordics and they are really good tires. They might be a little bit harder than the blizaks, so on sheer ice, they might not grip AS good, but they are still much better all season tires. I'd say go with the Nordics. I have heard that Blizzaks are good, but the tread wear isnt the greatest.

Tire wear on all true snow tires is horrible. Its just something you live with.

I have the Nordic tires and love them..get them studded if you really want awesome ice performance. I used mine a full season last year and they barely wore at all (we don't believe in plowing streets here so it was gliding along snow and ice all winter lol).

 

My Millenia came with a set of Blizzaks..they were much softer rubber then the Nordic tires..however I think the Nordics are better in snow. The Nordics will last you longer too.. have fun getting c-tire to balance anything properly. My tires were "balanced" twice by them, and I still hada HORRIBLE shake until my friend at Toyota balanced them a third time, now they are smooth.

[Q-Ball]

Well I was suposed to get my set today but they sold them! So now I gotta wait till thursday or friday for the Blizzaks.

 

should I just order it from online? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Blizzak+WS-60&vehicleSearch=true&partnum=07R5BZWS60&fromCompare1=yes&place=1&speed_rating=S&speed_rating=T&speed_rating=U&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating=W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&minSpeedRating=S

 

only 80 each, is there a canadian tire seller online? and Im not talking about Canadian Tire itself.

 

Thread can be closed now.

Yes, there is a seller from Canada...I forget the name of it but it's based out of Vancouver IIRC

Jason, if you haven't ordered your tires yet, go to Bob Williams. Price out Dayton Winterforce tires. Thats what I have and I can not tell the difference between them and the Blizzaks that were on my moters Grand AM. And, I paid way less than she did. I think my price was $110 each, installed.

They already got them in, but I have paid/picked them up yet. The roads are nice now.

yea, i have Blizzak WS60s on this car and i had WS50s on the last Grand Prix...I love them!! The WS50's didnt seem to wear that fast, but im noticing even after 3000 miles the front WS60s are already looking noticeably more worn than the backs...but hey, i got em for free!
