More Tires (Avid Tv/Turanza/P6000sv?) NRW-H??
Which is better. In case you cant tell fromt he models, its Yokohoma Avid
T-4, Bridestone Turanza, and Pirelli P6000SV.
My grandmas's Ford Taurus needs new tires. 205/65-15. I am well
versed in performance tires but not All seasons. She drives occasionally
in light snow so I want something that will be good in snow. If there is
a foot she stays home or has us cart her around in the A6. but light
snow, icy roads, frost, I want something good for there that has decent
braking etc as well.
Tire Rack is no help as each salesman says different things about
each. I know the Avid T4 is great in the rain and Dry. Best of the
three. But which is best int he snow. Anyother tires I should consider.
I've ruled out the Bridestone RE-930 but heard a salesman at Tire Rack
rave about it. But test results i the wet and dry it got crushed. But
thBut actually the new Turanza has the Uni-T tread and is supposed to be
much better. Esp in rain and maybe snow once tire wears down. P-6000sv
ahs lots of smaller tread blocks which would be good in snow. But other
salesman said yoko would be better in snow. But no testing to confirm
this and only one of them has Reader Surveys results. Grrr.
One other option. I can get some nice used (a few thousand miles)
Hakka NRW-H's. How would these work as an all season tire. I know they
would be decent in the snow. any other ideas. BFG TA HR+4 maybe. I've
heard good things but its an old tire so I wonder if newer designs like
the t-4 are better in the snow.
Sorry, but thanks aghead of time.
