Hey, thanks for the update! I was going to get the Blizzaks as it was the only option, but this will save me $200. The Michelins seem to have gotten good reviews as well. I also live in WI and let me tell you, last winter was not fun. I just assumed the stock tires were all seasons, and when there was more than 2 inches of snow, I could not even get up my driveway, which is not very steep. I had to shovel two tire track lines, pull into garage, and then finish shoveling. Even if these tires are somewhat crappy on dry pavement, it will make up for it in slush, snow, ice, etc.
Also, anyone price TireRack vs Sears, Firestone, Goodyear, etc. for equivalent (same) tires? Just curious if Tirerack is the way to go. In 16 years of driving, I've only replaced tires twice, so not much experience there. Obviously, we avoid tax with Tirerack, but shipping came out to like $84 for the tires and rims I wanted.
