Ice sucks to drive on.

 

But it's great for Canadian Water Ski-ing.

 

[sm=smiley20.gif]Sounds like a freaking good time

 

It's bloody awesome!

A vehicle, a tow rope, something for each foot to stand on, or both feet if you're a boarder, and a large open space covered in ice...

 

Well most tires suck on pure ice unless you get a specific snow/ice tire. I mean the BFG At's are exactly that, an all terrian tire. The best bet for pure ice is going to be like a blizzak ice tire or a studded tire.

 

Yeah

 

I am looking into winter tires, anyone here using them on a blazer?

what should I expect to spend, around$400?

 

Depends on the brand you go with...

You could probably get some Crappy Tire Goodyear Nordic's for about $400... You'll have to go with the 225/75/R15, if your rig has the 235/70/R15's on it, for an accurate speedo... Well, a close to accurate speedo, lol, but at least you get a little bit better grip from the narrower tire...

They're on sale for $93 a tire right now...

I ran the older versions on my old Mazda pickup, and they worked pretty good... Partially due to the fact they were only 215s, but still...

 

The other good snow tire I have heard of is the firestone winterforce or dunlop winter sport. I am not sure what sizes they have for our trucks and the first one is definately the cheaper of the two. I think the dunlops would run about 100-110 a tire installed, while the firestone would probably run ~$60 installed maybe more I am not sure. I know I have seen a lot of both tires up in the UP on both trucks and cars and havent heard anything bad about either of them. My mom just got the dunlops for her Mini CooperS and they handle good so far on the dry and wet pavement (haven't had sticking snow yet to test that out). Hope this helps out.

 

my bfg at's are great in the snow, they are the best purchase i have made for my blazer
