Default Got A Set of Blizzak WS-50's

Although last winter was not bad in my area, there were just a few days of measurable snow that I drove through in my GS for the first time. I did not like the feeling while driving in the snow as I drove with two hands clutched onto the steering wheel. Not good not good. Don't know when our first snowfall will be or how bad the winter will be neither but the tires will sit in the garage until needed. I got these tires from Tire Rack and got the tires within two days. I did not like the fact when my wife came home, she pulls up to see all four brand new tires sitting right in front of my garage. I'm like WTF???? I plan on calling Tire Rack's shipping dept. on this. I don't know if it's their fault or UPS but I intend to find out what Tire Rack's shipping policy is. I'm surprised that no one took it being that it's not hard to notice if your walking by or driving on the street. BTW, the pics were taken today but the date stamp on my camera and the pic were wrong.

Ok so I called Tire Rack today and wanted to know about their shipping policy. My tires were shipped via UPS but the driver left my tires without a signature. The rep told me that you must specify when ordering that you want a signature required when your package is delivered. I ordered online from the site and I was told that you can specify this too at checkout. Other then that, it was good doing business with them as my tires were shipped quickly and the customer service was great.

Thumbs up Newly installed Blizzaks

Just put WS-60's on my GS300. I was nervous it would make the ride rough and/or increase road noise. It's amazing that these snow tires actually rode better than their spring/summer tire set. They've got me looking for replacements for next spring/summer.

That's cool to hear. I believe the WS-60's you got are the newer snow tires.
