    So I am in need of some good winter tires. I dont want to spend a lot, but want to get my moneys worth. I got a '96 Accord. Here is what I found via sams club for the type and such. P195/60R15 <-- As far as I know that is correct.

    A good overall weather tire would do, but I had spun out more times last winter than I ever want to again (stupid snow/ice). Thankfully no hits or damage, but that is not fun!

    Anyhow, I digress. Any info would be great. Thanks!

    Get the round ones, the square ones get bad gas mileage. :lol:

    The square ones have far more grip, though. And you really want grip on winter tires. ;)

    I'm liking the Continental EcoContact3 that I have on my Clio - they've been holding up really well over the last year or so. Over here I think they are about £40 a wheel.
