craigslist it! and get some steelies from a junkyard. you'll come out in good shape for cheap. there's a lot of local blizzaks and other ice grabbers for sale on craigslist auto right now. good luck, and hurry, we don't want that thing wrapped around a tree. i know how scary it is, i did that shit last year for a little bit.

I wish we had snow on the ground. My car is so heavy though, you really gotta work it just to power slide it on dry asphalt. ON the damp ground, don't work it so hard.

Check out discounttiresdirect.com and prin off what you find then go to a local discount tire and have them price match it.

Snow tires are sooooo boring though. If I am rolling in first and punch it at 3000 rpms my wheels just spin to redline. That's gay, even with my LSD.

The p6's aren't that bad. I ran with them last winter with no problems. Driving 130-140 miles a day.

Yup, I decided to get the stomach flu from my kids. All the puking looked like way too much fun to pass up.

Who wants snow tires??

Give me some sizes and brand preferences, I can get them mounted and balanced for about $60.00 or so.

I had Dunlop Graspics on my SVT a couple years ago and they were phenomenal on ice and in snowy conditions.

I can't believe anyone would have to ask where to get a good price.

Eleanor...Give me a call and I'll see what I can do for you.

I really like my yokahama's except on wet pavement in early november (maybe it was becaus ei was still used to summer tires)

steve, do you sell yokahama's by chance?
