Just so you know snow tires don't last for **** once the weather warms up, they are a soft compound and a warm road wears them down fast. I have snow tires for my DD and remove them once temps hit consistant 40's and they have lasted 3 yrs and still look new. One warm summer will kill them though if left on.

 

Well I live 3 miles from work. Ill go in leave for 3 days. Then come home. So I won't be doing much driving. I'm looking a set of goodyears that look nice in a 265/70r17

 

What model are you looking at? We installed Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice on our BMW and they sucked compared to Blizzaks they replaced. I'm thinking about Firestone Winterforce for my 17's. Local quote of $141 mounted and balance each.

 

Can't remember. They were only 650 installed for 4

 

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

JMHO

 

I know it's more money but you really should get two sets of tires. Some nice studs for the winter cause trust me with the power you make and AWD that thing will do amazing with studs.

Then a nice set of tires for the summer so you can hook on dry pavement. Like mentioned above the winter tires can be run in the summer (non studded) but they are really soft and will wear down really quick, especially with the power and driving habits

 

Agreed

I'd run Duratracs year-round vs winter tires in the summer though, no question

 

So I'm looking for advice on what to do next. Wanting alittle more power but unsure what to do next.

 

How much power are you making right now?

 

Not really sure since I can't put it on a Dyno. If I had to guess it would be in the 625ish. Trapped 111 in the 1/4. But it was dipping into the 10:1 afr. I got that straitened out now. Pulls alittle harder on the top end
