I bought them locally at an installer who would match Tirerack.com's pricing - Samaritan Tire in Minnetonka (for anyone in MSP reading this).

I've always bought tires online - shipping usually offsets the tax - but Samaritan does a great job installing and I'd rather give the business to them.

275/40R20 XL Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow RFT RunFlat – Qty 2 $317.00 $634.00

315/35R20 XL Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow RFT RunFlat – Qty 2 $348.00 $696.00

Tire Rack has them at $1330.00 pair + $89.16 shipping = $1419.16


Finally having them installed Friday.. I'll LYK how they drive.

Thanks for the info. I just purchased a set of Toyo G-02 Plus in the stock 315 and 275 sizes. Im powder coating the stock wheels black as well before mounting the new snows. Will post pics late next week.

Anyone else ever use these Toyo's?

I have those toyos but on an e53 with 19" style 63 wheels for winter. So they are not as wide. They are 255/50-19 and 285/45-19. I have used the tires for 2 winter seasons and they have done an awesome job. They aren't to loud on dry pavement and in the snow and on ice they perform very good especially in such a big size.

Thanks , I had to try to keep the 315's on the rear, they just look cool. Hope they are not an issue this winter. My wife had a fun ride to work this morning not being able to stop for our road to the office.

We are getting some good snow today, so I will get to try the new tires out on Tuesday.

What kind of wheels are these going on? I see you decided against the staggered setup...so you mush have ordered four front wheels??

275 will fit on OEM rear wheels, and is a better solution for winter, I am lead to believe
