Message	snow tires on [ WWW.tirerack.com ] 225/50-16 $90-$142 each used NA rims ~ $300? dunno, maybe less. You don't need pretty, or nice. You can even use 4 lefts, if that's cheaper. For $700 or so you have piece of mind. If you only drive in the snow a few times, and don't have the money for snow tires, take a cab. Todd (Loving the rain, playing in Mud)
