well bend me over and call me georgie-pie after calling around to the tire shops here in town i think iam better off putting bald-*** used tires on the car its pretty sad if i put a set of 35x12.50's on my truck and it was cheaper than this car project could be the highest i was quoted was 822.65 the lowest was 510.52 and that wasnt even for the tires i wanted...this is crap man this town blows!

lots of miles... Id expect 40,000 as long as you stay out of the stupid pedal. Im assuming youll be using these tires for winter... please tell me youll remove them for warmer weather?

I hear ya... the cold sucks but the the snow that comes with it I cant get enough of. I seam to remember a tire that everone raves about as being the best snow tire there is. I dont know what sizes they make it in but I think its called a blizzark...
