Well I finally got to test my 03 Tiburon SE in some snow today. It has the original Michellen All Season on it, with like 58 000 km on them. It wasn't too bad, but first gear is a little tricky.

I hope to get through this winter with these tires, and then get snows or good all seasons next year.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Question to York Region area resident's, how many of you have snow tires for your tiburons????

Thanks,

JaysBlueTiburon

Agreed, and leave the TC on. I'm using winter tires because ottawa sucks in the winter. They are pricey but Dunlop Winter Sport M3's are awesome.

Trust me, I wouldnt put her through it if I had a choice. Besides, driving with these michelin pilots is like ice-skating. Im sliding all over the damn place and theres only 2" of snow!

My snows are going on tonight. Speaking of which.... stock tuscani 17's for sale.... :3_offtopi

 

[panthertiburon]

ya i wish i could store it but no extra money for a second car and more insurance


home ownership is a big drain on the bank account......

stock 16's and tires worked fine for some snow for me for about 2 months, but now I'm lucky enough to be able to store mine in the winter. You should be fine with those tires.

yep drove yesterday yes I cant go passed 30km/hr ill start slipping on 2cm cant afford new tires and its first year with tibby on snow

15" winters - 4 seasons used. still good tread on them. pirellis, highly recommend winters, or at least an all season, but dont attempt it with stock z-rated summer michelins that came on the car (the GT 17's). or any summer tire for that matter.

All I can say is..... Good Luck and get those winter tires on asap..... my friend has a celica on air and he waited until monday to take his car to storage up in mount forest and oh my.....let just say we had to shovel him a path to get it in there! LOL

i wish a had a car to use during the winter.. NY winters suck, especially around here when they use TONS of sand on the streets.

Yeah, I'm putting mine away Monday. We just started to get snow here this week, and my tires are pretty slick. My Tiburon won't even budge in any amount of snow. I'm going to Maine this weekend in it, I'm hoping for decent weather. I might put my back tires up front, they might be in better shape. The car is lowered as well, so that is just another little obstacle I'm not going to bother with this winter.

I have 15s on my SE, Kumho IZEN studs, for the winter, this is their third winter, and they're still great! I'd love to let her hibernate for the winter, but like Adam said, no monies for 2 cars, and more insurance!!
