Just pulled the trigger on Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snows

They received excellent ratings and they are the only snow tires that come in 315's for the rear. Purchased them at the tirerack.com to go on my style 168 rims. Shipping them to my local installer and will have an alignment done as well.



275/40R20 @ $317 each
315/35R20 @ $348 each

Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow RFT

At 22k miles the Michelin HP Latitudes being replaced did very well. They were a compromise from the Michelin Diamaris I had on previously in terms of warm weather performance, dry and wet but they got me through 2 winters.

The rears wore out prematurely in the center due to having to use higher than preferred (but still less than sidewall ratings) pressure to keep the TPMS light off when it was cold. I would raise the pressure when temps got consistently into the 30's and then in the spring bring them back down but the centers of the rear tires took the hit. The front tires still have pretty decent mileage left in them.

So once I found stock size winter tires I decided to go with a dedicated set. I'll invest in a set of new or lightly used wheels for a set of Michelin Diamaris warm weather tires I have.

Not sure what to get, I have time to decide for sure.

Suggestions on rims (to fit tire sizes above) this spring?
