I am tempted to hold off on some necessary rotor/brake pad work until October/November and have my local mechanic change-out the tires to snows while at it. I DANGEROUSLY drove on summer-only performance tires this past winter, which was extremely harsh here in the Northeast US.
I see lots of discussion about the Brigestone Blizzak WS-50. My question is whether a snow tire needs to really be the top of the line? I see many generics out there in the neighborhood of $70 a tire for the 205-50-16 size. I am tempted to save the $150 (or more) and purchase some generics. After all, they are only on there for a few months a year.
Thoughts?
Thanks, Ryan
