I've started shopping for winter tires for a new Honda Coupe V6. I am looking to purchase 15" rims with snow tires that could withstand 5 years of city driving in Canada. Tire size is 205/60/R15.
So far, I've looked at Goodyear Ultra Grip 5, Dunlop HS1, Bridgestone Blizzaks and some tires from BF Goodrich.
Although I like how soft-threaded tires perform in the winter, they tend to have a shorter life span as they erode on warm dry pavement.
Any suggestions on the best tire to buy here. I want a decent tire but don't want to pay a fortune. Expected winter driving is about 800 miles/month.
Thanks, Steve.
