Winter Tires

Jan 26, 2005 3 Replies

I have a new Miata. I live in upstate New York where we get lots of snow in the winter. I donot usually drive my car until the roads are mostly cleaned up. I will be using the Miata during the winter. The original tire are not good herein snowy weather.Can anyone give ne some idea if the Yokohama Avid H4s/v4s would be recommended???. Could these be used year round??



Thanks in advance for your comments

I think the T4 is generally regarded as a better tire than the H4, despite the manufacturer's classifications. I have T4s on our old Accord, and they're a decent all-season that works OK in moderate snow.

I just put the H4's on my '95 Miata this fall (4th set of tires that have been on the car) and have had them out in the snow a couple of times this year. I live in New England and wait until the roads are clear or else avoid hills. I really like these tires. They're quiet and have decent grip in all conditions. The price is good too.

Or, buy a cheap set of wheels and put on real snow tires.
