The "vandlism" factor didn't help also a reason I HAD to buy new rims .

They don't make them in 225/45/17's anymore so I had to get the next Michellen tire up. It's a Poilt Sport, I just forget which one. They are great in the snow too, and good on the street and track. I can still spin them up a bit more than the other tires, but the profile of the tire looks a lot better.

They are NOT cheap. The first set was $700 and the 2nd set was in the $680 range. You want good, you gotta pay

Ouch on the price. but like you said. You get what you pay for. How are they for speed? Winter isnt a huge deal for me because I have an extra set of studed tires (it is alaska after all)
