I went to the stealership back in the summer and got a quote for winter tires for a Dodge Charger SRT8... They wanted $800 per tire (245/45R20)... I looked at downsizing rims but couldn't find a Canadian retailer who had rims at a decent price that would fit over the brake calipers... Then I found the tire rack!
Ended up getting 19" rims wrapped with Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice shipped from the US. Only cost $1900 total. Compared to Canadian prices, it was a great deal!
This was the first time ever that I had winter tires. They are incredible! I was on the "all-season tires are good enough" side of the argument until trying winters. I am now on the "people arguing against winter tires are borderline ######ed" side. Thank you CP for educating me.
P.S. I am jealous of you guys and your $500 sets of winters. Yes, you save money... But my car is way more fun!
