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.

I ordered the Pirelli Scorpion Ice thru a local Discount Tire store. I was hoping to give an initial review of them in this post but......

What the IDIOTS ordered was the Scorpion Zero All Season tires. Now I have to wait until Monday to see if I can even get the Scorpion Ice by the time I need them. UGH!!!
