Discount Tire or TireRack if you want to buy online. However Discount Tire will price match TireRack. Do you get any snow where you live?
No Snow where I live, but Lake Tahoe is only 4 hrs away and I might make one trip during winter timeframe.
Well I live in northern Illinois, not far from the border of Wisconsin. I'm not taking these off during the winter either. I used to drive a 2005 Lancer Evolution with the stock Yokohama Advans A046 during the winter. Nothing can be worse than that! People thought that because I had awd that i'd still be better off...wrong! If anything it was worse than just having straight fwd or rwd. All wheels were getting power and would never grip.
If your only planning to make one or two trips to Lake Tahoe then it's not worth it to get all winter or even all season tires.
Yes, even I am leaning towards the summer tires. As of now I am leaning towards the Sumitomo as they seem to be the best deal. I think I am fine if I have to change the tires in another 25K. For that price I might as well change tires (around 25K) than by an expensive tire and use it for longer periods. Thanks for all the comments!!
