Thule K-Summit K77 XXL - Thule - Thule RV Accessories - Tire Chains

rather get these thule ones as that one looks as if it'll come off especially when its just pressure on the tires. if its wet, itll slowly jig outwards or inwards especially when you're going across snow/ice

 

Where are you going, don't normal snow tires serve you well in the Vancouver weather

 

oh im going no where just saying thule ones are better =p
and my GLK's tires are snowflaked so theyre ok for most winter conditions here, however there was a time where the area iced up and thank god for stability control lol

 

Your lucky you have good tires on the GLK, I know it wasn't too good for you on the M5, I have Dunlops on the accord and I bent my drivers side front and back a week ago, luckily I ride on steel rims

 

I run snows on my M3 work well for me. Never get stuck. Though the cars got insane stability control, traction control, limited slip diff, etc! Only thing is ground clearance sucks..

 

hes not talking about the BMW M5 hes talking about my Mazda 5 M5 LOL
but yeah I've had real shitty problems with the stock Toyo tires and the Falkens that i changed to soon after buying it. god damn nightmare thanks to consumer reports saying falkens were goood

 

oh damn...lol

 

I bought a used 540i for the kids to drive to school that came with those lousy riding Falken tires. I never knew how really nice this car could ride until I changed those dogs out and bought a set of Continental Extreme Contact tires - they are really great !!!

Falken ZE-912 - when its wet, it will wheel spin and on turns as well. Tire walls flexes too much. You'd be expecting more from a 140 tire (actually prob not) but I was expecting a lot more when consumer reports said TOP RATED. I was ready to drop money on Pirellis but the tire place gave me the magazine and since I was stupid, i went with it.

Toyo Proxeres - can go sideways on a perfectly dry day and can fish tail. Ultimately the worst tires there are, get rain and you'd be hydroplaning. threw them away at 1600km, i felt my life was in danger using these especially after i fish tailed on the bridge and thanks to counter steering and accelerator control, i didnt crash.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS - god like tires period.
