Why studded? Studs are no fun on wet pavement.

Let me see if I can find the number of the retard that bought my civic. I gave him 5 mounted shows with the car and he wasted the car 2 weeks later. He might still have them.

With regular snows my civic was unstoppable in the snow up until ~16" of snow, at which point ground clearance won, lol. JIC you don't realize it, but I bet you do, you need 4 on that car or it will be an oversterring nightmare.

hey GP99GT ---

I have a almost new set of Firestone WinterForce Tires for sale. They are size 195/70/14 and rated M+S. Was used for just shy of 2 months before they were taken off. (Upgraded to larger wheels, so tires were now useless) They are currently mounted on 14x6 wheels, 5 bolt pattern (old school steel GM rim - no hubcaps). No air leaks in tires/wheels, no holes or patches in any tire.

Excellent, almost new tread on all 4 Tires. They are stud-able.

For more in-depth review of tire, go here:

let me know if your interested..

I didn't like selling those tires, they wore fast. You should be able to get 4-5 seasons out of snows, not 2 before the siping gives up. They are good new, and they may have improved a bit.

I liked the dunlop snows I had. Not so much the toyos.

they do wear out fast, but i did like the performance.
