~$60 a tire, and it does seem to void the oe tire warranty, which makes sense.
The OP might consider picking up a set of cheapazz winter tires, or even a set used a season, and installing them on his normal wheels...or, try the siping and let us know.
I lived in NJ/NY from '74 to late 2001, and though I always had a set of snows on the cars, for winter, 'winter' is really shorter and only acute vs. long term, in the 'burbs there, and where was has to go/get to, imo.

I was quoted $30/tire, so it seems very reasonable to me.
I couldn't find any used sets on ebay, but if I can at least get some second hand rims, I'll probably get snows and deal with a conti goo kit, and live with TMPS error messages.
The beauty of siping is I get to keep the RFT quasi convenience (since I'm stuck w/o a jack and spare), and TPMS too.
I have friends who are knowledgable about cars who sipe, mostly in Colorado. Colorado people, represent!
