Upstate NY: Looking for Winter Tires

I picked up my G37s a few months ago and figured I'd check here for anyone that either has Winters nearby for sale or knows something I don't (a store or site that has good winters)

Thanks!!

Do you need winter wheels by any chance?

For a RWD G37 in Upstate NY? Yeah man, you need snows. Also, he has a G37S, so while the VLSD in that model will certainly help, he probably has summer-only tires on that sport sedan.

OP, I've been using Bridgestone Blizak LM-60's. They're OK, and this might be my last Winter with them. However, as a Sport/Snow, there's not enough of either Sport nor Snow to be satisfying. My advice is to go with a dedicated Snow & Ice tire.

But definitely get some snows for that car. The best approach to this twice-a-year dance is to have two sets of wheels & tires. I keep the snows on my old duckfeet.

As for prices... TireRack.

^ Yes you will need them, you won't move an inch with All seasons or Summers with RWD.

Crap. Time to fork out some dough. *sigh*

I have AWD though, but with all season tires.
