Re: Great deal on snow tires!
I don't remember I-5 being shut down because of snow in the last 17 years I have lived in WA. And driving 70-80 in the snow is assanine. I make at least 30 trips a year up to Stevens pass and have plenty of snow driving experience. My 2 cents is that better tires are just that...better. My kuhmos love to slip in the snow. AWD doesn't help out one bit with out traction.
Edit: how do you set someone to ignore?

Re: Great deal on snow tires!
yep. Quote:
i drove the LGT home at midnight during the "Great Storm" of 2010. the roads had some plowing done earlier, so the snow was only 2-3 feet deep. i had to take a detour around a main road that has a slight incline to it (cars were scattered all over it like a skating rink) and go up a STEEPER hill. many cars were just parked in the middle of the roads. i made it home, but the snow in my driveway was up over my bumper, so i had to park it in the middle of my street and dig out a spot for my car at 1AM.

They have been relisted but instead of $50.00 free shipping they are $69.00 plus $15.00 shipping each.

Re: Great deal on snow tires!
That is still a very good deal. The best deal I had found prior to this was a guy in Buffalo selling 225/50R16 WS-50s (older) for $110 but taking best offers as low as $90 and I think he was charging $18 for shipping. By the way, the re-list showed $12.00 shipping so it depends on your location.
