Reply #18: I paid $650 for mine (or, how much is your life worth?):

[Deja Q]

At Tires Plus:

50k mile lifespan.

Great protection for winter driving conditions.

Ditto for rain.

Also bought a roadside assistance warranty that covers free alignment and rotations. As my vehicle needs rotation/balancing every 7500 miles, and how much that all costs, it's worth it.

1999 Subraru Impreza Outback Sport is my vehicle.

(Oh, I ahd spent $500 back in 1998 for tires for my 1995 Toyota Corolla.)

Tires are important, especially in states like Minnesota.

But I would recommend against doing it on the cheap. Unless you're a neocon pro-death maniac like *.
