Jeeeeezuz.
So much cheaper... I just checked the price of Winterforce LT's at KalTire and at TireRack.
Tire Rack is $485 cheaper for a set of 4 (then gotta add shipping... but I'm guessing it's not going to cost $485). I knew they were cheaper but didn't think it was that drastic.
My only concern is bringing them in to get mounted (I'd be putting them on my stock rims). I figure most dealers/maintenance shops/tire shops consider you scum for not buying the tires from them.
I've never used winter tires since I started driving in 1996 and if I still had a little FWD hatchback, I'd probably stick with all seasons. Now with a RWD pickup truck with garbage weight distribution and being my first full winter in Alberta I think I'll do it up with winters this year.
