Basic Auto Maintenance : How to Buy All Season & Snow Tires

[Voivrenetwork]

I am looking for some tires for my 2006 Ford Mustang GT, I have summer tires on the car right now, and braved the elements by driving through West Virginia in the snow and I even drove it over black ice.. What would be a better tire all around, that way I would not have to switch tires by season.. Should I get all season? If so, what kind exactly?

I have a BMW 540i. When the first owner bought this car in 1994, he selected the motosport wheel option. This rim takes 240/45/R 415. This is not a mistake in any way, This is exactly what it says in the owners manual. Also on the inside door well of the car.

Please help me somebody cause I can't find these tires. Even online.

Dragonfire7666, Thanks you.

@Dragonfire7666 - The tires on your BMW are the Michelin TRX and they came in their very own sizing. No other tire will safely mount on those wheels. The only company that still offers these tires is Coker Tire. Their web site is their name followed by the dot com. They sell this tire for $502 each. Ouch. I'd recommend purchasing new wheels and tires to replace the obsolete TRX tires/wheels. The outside diameter of the size you need is 25.10" and the width is 9.60". The equivalent P-metric...

@Dragonfire7666 ...sizing is the P225/60R-15, with an O.D. of 25.6" and a width of 9.00". This size was the stock alternative size for your BWM. TireRack dot com has this size as low as $59 each. I hope this response was in time to provide you some help. Good luck with it. -- B.F.Goodrich T/A Certified Tire Specialist

you could just go with the "best of both worlds" and get some all terrains, like my bfg ats on my f250, worked great for me in snow in colorado and the ice in texas.
