snow tires

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

Hakka 1's w/ studs all the way... or 4wd.

I live in winter (north of 60), I know what I'm talking about...

Studless tire were designed for jurisdictions where studs were outlawed...
IMO.

want more detail, drop me a line...

think it's a little late to make much difference with my car. Plus, gravel
being flung at my car doesn't sound that great. It has a lot of hood dents
already, but it doesn't need any more. I'm an avid snowboarder and being
right near Steamboat Resort, I plan on going there as much as possible (as
soon as I get hired by them so I get a free pass). Right now I'm leaning
toward Firestone Winterfires, they do have a stud version, though I'm not
sure which to go with. I'm kind of leaning away from Blizzaks at the moment
simply because they have a two layer compound and by the time I drive cross
country with them, I doubt there will be much left of the first compound. I
could be way off though.

I have a complete stock 88 16v with teardrop rims. I need snow tire
reccommendations. I was thinking 2 new all season tires on the back (I have
one, its just a goodyear basic street/touring tire, was going to get a
second of the same time) and two blizzacks up front. Anyone have a better
plan? I know there are a few listers out in that
