So winter tires will only last about 3 seasons when bought new?
Depends on how much you drive. I have used my set for 4 to 5 seasons for new.

Honestly, a new set of Blizzaks at tire rack are about $700 (non run flat.) Why risk it? For another $350 you will not have to worry.

$700. for a set would be amazing. Unfort I'm only seeing Blizzaks at TR for about $350. per tire.
I'd like to go with 4 Conti DWS's. Would anyone like to buy a set of Dueler HP's used for about 300 miles? 275/315's. Just a feeler. $1200.?
I'd also sell the set of oem 212 rims I picked up. $600.?

Sorry, they are the Bridgestone DM-V1, non run flat. I know my Blizzaks were $700 something shipped to the door.

i just paid $325/tire installed for LM-60s at the dealer. Great tire, handled well in the snow in VT - not sure I'd buy them used since you need the tread depth to make them effective. But as another poster said, best to just drive on good days if you aren't driving that often.

Imo, You could get a winter or two out of those. Depends on how you drive and how many miles you put on them.
