I'm hoping they meant $Can, considdering I paid less than that for Blizzak LM-22s and 17" wheels ($1000), I'm guessing that's the case. That still does sound high though, what tires were they?

Holy hell that's way too much for winter tires!!!! Even if it's in Canadian, that's a lil over $1100 US. I paid just barely over $700 for my Dunlop WinterSport M3s and G6 wheels INCLUDING all taxes, shipping, handling, mounting, and balancing.

agreed. I had 18 inch rims too, and he only has 17's so it should be much cheaper...

I didnt see he was from canada but even that thats still really high for canadian monies.

I dont know if they ship to Canada, but you could probably order them from there, have them Overnighted to you and still pay way less.

My winter tires were free. Pirelli P6's. They seem alright for a Pittsburgh winter. I haven't really had a problem yet. Did I mention I didn't pay a dime?

* shrugs *

But if y'all live in Canada or something, I can understand it.

You do live in Missouri though. It's a little warmer there than in Canada.
