Hey All,



I have been looking for the correct snow tire for my 86 GL.  I am very

happy that this tire was brought to my attention by a list member.

Today, I ordered a set of 4 from NTB.  They are not cheap...$103 per

before ups and extras like mounting, balancing etc.



I'm looking forward to a snowy winter!!

The Agilis is NOT a snow tire.

See: http://www.michelin.ca/ca/eng/news/agilis/1.htm

Depending on which type you get its either an all-season M+S or a summer

tire rated R+W.

Ok, I stand corrected.  For my purposes a Mud and Snow tire is a snow tire.  I know some of you guys drive in really deep snow so you use snow tires that are only for snow.  I live and drive on the East Coast where the most snow I would be up against is about 6 inches.
