OK. A set of Blizzak LM-25s are $1425 in the staggered 19's size. Pirelli Scorpion Ice are only $1135. I think Pirelli's it is... Neither are RFTs. Since I want the spare and mounting kit anyways, I've already got it on order from my dealer for $385.

Gee, I usually go a year with a new car before spending $1500 for tires but this is all for safety, and if I stay with 19s for summers, their life is extended.

What will happen after this is Charlotte will have its warmest winter in decades and it may not even snow in WV. But I'll be ready if it does.
