If so, what kind are you running? I got this set very very lightly used on eBay for 140 bucks (local pickup only in Stamford CT). Blizzak WS-50's in 235/65/R16 (as compared to the standard ML size 265/65/R16)

I don't do winters. Nowhere near enough snow in Va for it to be worth it.

My sister just got a set of Dunlop winters put on her Mini. Just a couple days ago they paid for themselves being able to stop the car really fast in the cold we have.

Wagon will run all-seasons this winter, and get a dedicated set of winters next year.

SL doesn't typically run at all in the winter, so no reason to bother. I wouldn't drive it in the snow anyway.

Hankook W300 IceBears. 205/50R16XL. stock size is 225/45R16. This will be the 7th winter on them. I only have them on for about 5000 miles per year, and I take it easy on them (staying out of the boost in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears)... They are just about worn to the M&S rating bars.

General Tire Altimax Arctic. I even got a second set of basketweaves for them. Not installed yet, obviously.

I plan on cleaning them up a bit before I put them on the car.

I've got mine, not mounted right now though. The pic is from last year when we had that horrible ice storm hit Dallas. I work on the road and all over the country, so I was one of the few (if not only) people in DFW to have true winter tires (Blizzaks, btw).

Yes, I am one of those horrible Tahoe drivers...

185/60R15 Snowtrakkers on my 2000 Impreza Outback Sport. They were free with 80% tread because they were in the attic of my parts department here at the dealership. Got them with a used car trade a year ago and my boss was tired of looking at them.
