The Himalaya WS2 is made for the harshest winter weather conditions. A premium traction tire for passenger cars and SUVs designed for use with or without studs, WS2s ride like a tank on icy, snowy, and wet roads. The V-shaped groove design provides added rigidity for even tread wear under high loads. The special tread compound uses rubber that remains soft in extreme cold temperatures for pliability and road grip. A zigzag tread pattern increases the contact area and has been computer-tested for best noise reduction. This is the tire for safety-minded drivers who want the best available traction and steering performance from a winter tire. Owners of the Himalaya WS2 rate it as a standout, with excellent wet, snow, and ice traction and ride comfort.

These tires are a life saver!
These studded tires were an absolute game changer for me! I live on a mountainside in Utah where we get a lot of snow. I used to slide into a curb at least once every winter but with these, I can go out when the roads haven’t been cleared and still get through just fine (don’t want to go tooooo fast—they have their limits, but it turned winter from impossible to possible).

Has a really good tread design.
I have had the tires on my vehicle now for about two months. Have made two different trips between Eugene and Bend and the tires have performed well with the snow and ice on the road.

Great snow tires!
I bought these tires because I live on a private road, and commute over at least one mountain pass. They’re installed on a 2004 Civic and turned it from a poor performer in snow, to a sure-footed commuter in up to 8” of snow. The tread is really tall, and with the siping, it means there’s a fair amount of wiggle in corners if you try and drive them like all seasons. The studs are noisy, and there’s a noticeable buzz at interstate speed, but not bad. I’ll buy another set when these wear out.

Every time winter approaches, with a different vehicle, it's off to Les Schwab for studded snows. Usually around $600.00 per set. Have saved my life at least once with each set. ( 3 different vehicles/. Rural, high desert here. No regrets.

Feel much safer
This year is very icy in my area and I have had no trouble getting out to the main roads. I feel so much safer on the snowy days as well.

Hatchback Becomes Winter Beast
I bought my Himalaya studded tires to drive my Ford Focus on the icy roads found in the Northwest. They turned that little fron-wheel-drive hatchback into a winter beast! I crossed the Sierra over Christmas and Year's without so much as a stray slither. I cannot recommend these enough for getting you safely through the snow!
