Default Winter Tires

Which tires do you guys run in the winter on your SC / RWD lex. I was looking at blizzaks, but wanted a few opinions. I also dont have working traction contorl (TRAC OFF light just stays on).

If you must drive your SC in the winter / snow BUY the blizzacks. I rock them in the winter and swear by them.

Look around on craigslist and eBay. You can probably pickup a used set pretty cheap.

I just picked up a set of blizzak Lm22 in 18" with 500 miles on them shipped for $450. I'll be rocking them on my lex this winter, but tell you the truth I did just fine on my stock with kumho ASX last winter.

they arent "snow" specific tires, but i had em on last year in a big storm, didnt get stuck going thru 25" piles of snow on the side of the highway. Then again i dont think your gona find a size that fits on a SC

lol at above post. Push comes to shove, and to play it safe, it may look like MTA is gonna be going my way this winter . Had bad enough experiences w/ a 240sx in the snow, let alone a SC4.

I use Dunlop M3s on my GS430, they worked when I needed them the past few winters FWIW!
