my 15 inch C8's with Kuhmos cost me no more than $700
Where did you pick up that package for that price? Groupbuy center was 450 shipped for 15's with no tires. It seems to the that the steel grey looks like a gunmetal but on groupbuycenter the pics of steel grey look like a dark silver/very light gunmetal. Also where is a good place to get the 712's in a 205/50/15 for cheap.

how would snow fuc it up? its water... um. lets just put it this way, i HAVE to be able to move around in snow, this isn't high school anymore, when it snows, there still is school, where there is ice on powerlines, streets, and everything else, there still is school
i was thinkin about the falken 512 all season... but they are kinda epxneisve ($80 a tire)

my BF goodrich touring t/a's are pretty good in snow.. they are only "performance" not "high" performance

so who knows. anyone know of a cheap place to buy falkens?

$80+- for mounting/balancing installation etc.

do they really have snow tires?.... we usually use chains when it comes to snow.
