motordavid - great post as well!! What more could I want!

I do lean heavily towards the complete winter change-over set. In fact, I'm currently attempting to see if a member here has sold his set of winter tires (advertised as in great condition 17's and 85% left on his winter Dunlop's) from the "for sale" section. If not, I'd perhaps be interested in seein' if he and I can put something together.

Thanks again for the very informative post.....good stuff that.
