GTP snow tires

[Eagle]

Anyone got a set up for sale?

Otherwise, what kinda tire should I slap on the GP for the winter? The tires on the car now are pretty bald, but the car still does pretty good even on wet roads... I'm guessing in the snow tho, it's not going to be pretty at all.

I plan on getting some general ultimax tires. I've heard good things an they're very cheap. My size is only $77 each.

Otherwise I had some blizzaks and they were amazing on the Honda.

I run Blizzaks in the winter I bought them on eBay during the summer a few years ago for $120.

I ran Yokohama v4s on the Gp. They were great actually in the snow... Though every winter they got worse as they wore... But all tires do.

They were even the wider 245/50s and were good

I've been looking all season for snow tires to no avail. I'll probably just buy new unfortunately.

I ran Blizzak WS60s on the GTP last winter and they were fucking baller. But I've made it through plenty of winters on basic all-season tires with the car, including a few harsh central Michigan winters. Only reason I went to snow tires is because my all-seasons were trashed and since the spare rims are only used in the winter I figured why the hell not.

You should be fine on good all seasons, but as posted before snows will only make it better.

I drive my GXP with the stock all seasons. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

Anyone know the specs on the stock GTP wheels and backspacing?

Will something like this work?

Bolt Pattern: 5-108
Offset: 40mm
Backspacing: 5.59"

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Hahaha no those Volvo rims won't fit.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

5x114.3 I believe.

 

[Eagle]

Bolt Pattern: 5-115
Offset: 42mm
Backspacing: 5.43"

Guess not, that's the specs for a steel wheel that tirerack sells for the GTP.

I'd just get good all seasons from tire rack. The Gp is decent in the snow.

 

[Eagle]

Ok, thats cool. I can handle that. I've been going out and buying stuff for this car just to find out a few days later that someone is selling the same thing for 1/2 the price.

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

If you can drive RWD in the snow the GP is a breeze. You could always pull the blower belt or go to a bigger pulley. I remember reading about people doing that!

[Yaj Yak]

5x114.3 or 5x115 or 5x4.5... all pretty much the same...

backspacing... higher than like +30mm

 

[greasy]

I might be willing to part with the pony's winter setup........ Call me if interested.

 

[Yaj Yak]
