    cheap walmart pacemark snowtrakkers on all corners of the wifes neon. 185/70/14's. they work quite well. come around a corner and rip the e-brake and the car will start to slide but let it off and the back end SNAPS back in. traction is decent.

    I use cheap hankook snows on my srt and my wife's car. They are unbelievable in the snow. I have gone through 3 winters with the ones on my srt and they hardly show any wear. I am able to get into boost in the snow as well. I think the ones for my srt were $45 each from discounttiredirect.com.

    Slasky, were you using 15" or 17" snow tires on your SRT?

    General consensus seems to be that pretty much any dedicated snow/winter tire will do the trick.

    I was using 15" rims and tires. I see no need to get anything better than what I have. I pass 4WD trucks in the winter time.

    Winterforce 185 75 r14's for the spirit. Best bang for the buck as others have mentioned. I think I paid 42 each? I was two years ago and there's at least 4 more winters left in them. It's night and day if your use to running radials in the winter. Or you can try these although I don't think they'd last long on pavement! Oh and I've doubled the # of screws per tire since I took the picture. They work really well on the ice.

    you got something slimy on the inside to keep it sealed?

    that looks wicked.
