Tires

[N0c]

My Insight needs some new tires, I was reading the fourm this summer and saw the tire comparison thread, I now seemed to have lost it.

1. What Tires should I get (best for mpg)

2. I also need a set of snow tires for the winter. What should I get? Anything?

I cannot wait till there is 2 feet of snow on the ground, and I get to drive through it.

The Bridgestone RE92 OEM's are the ultimate MPG tire. AFAI remember Armin imported some (1 set for himself) european LRR's that are compairable.

I swear by Nokian Hakkapeliitta 2 in 145/80R13.

Can I buy those online, or where can I get them?

"I cannot wait till there is 2 feet of snow on the ground, and I get to drive through it."

You won't, believe me. Anything more than 6-8 inches and (unless it's very light powder) you're stuck. Side effect of the low ground clearance.

I am speaking figuratively.....

Even a truck can hardly drive in that without haveing problems, plus if it snows 2 feet, why would I leave home.

Whats out there that I need in 2 feet of snow.

I'll tunnel there.

6-8" of snow and my Insight ain't goin nowhere! I'm lucky to get through 3-4" on the OEM RE92's. I haven't tried snow tires as I'll use my 4runner in anything more than 3-4" Insight is just too light with too little ground clearance.
