We picked up a set of steelies with snows mounted off of tirerack in late November for about $600 shipped. The Potenzas were wearing down a bit and after a trip though the Adirondack backcountry over Thanksgiving in the snow we decided we wanted winter tires on the critter. First time we're put snows on it, had the stock Potenzas then some replacment Potenzas other years-the snows made a HUGE difference (not that it was bad before, but it was better after). I can't recall the make, cheaper than Blizzaks but they had high recommended ratings from fellow subie owners there.
