Re: Tires for the winter
Either them or a regular set of snow tires! I personally like the Cooper line of tires. You can get the Cooper Discoverer M&S as a relatively cheap tire and they will work great for winter time. You could also get them studded for the best traction you can get with a 2WD.
Current rides:
2013 Toyota Tundra DC 4x4
2008 Dodge Nitro 4x4
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition
