(omg) I only paid 827 for my tires and rims at Mazda inlcuding taxes and oil change.
 
yeah total rip off, but i called like fountian tire and some other places and they were all over 1000 so.. not much of a choice

My dealer sells set of tire and RIM, 16" for the Mazda3 for 865 taxes included.
 
winterizing cars sux....i want to live where its warm all year and still snows cause i like the snow but u dont have to drive on it....
 
same here buddy, The only part of winter driving I hate is knowing what the salt is doing to my car
 
How are the Michelin X-Ice? Did you get a chance to try your sis's car with them? I've got Arctic Alpins, but I heard the X-Ice replaced those.

Only flaw I've noticed with this car and snow is the rear spolier.

It can get packed in there between the truck and the top of the spoiler.

I can't believe how much that costs. I just bought some 205/50R16 Pirelli Wintersport 210 tires for my 03 ES for $400. Granted, I work at the place I got them from so I got some discounts, but if I hadn't had discounts it would've cost $550-600.

That's Canada vs. the US there - the prices listed sound about right. I got quoted about $860 for 195/50/16 Pirelli 210s......

Em - I just got some Nokian WR's on my stock rims, so I can use them in the summer if I don't have the cash to buyt some nice summer-only rims. They were $912 for a set of 4 205/50/16s.

That's true. Also, the 195/50R16s were about $20-25 (USD) per tire more than the 205s, and I like the bigger look of the 205s better anyways.
