Is it typical to pay about $100 per 13" studded tire for a Metro? The quote I got from Les Schwab here in Oregon is about $400 for 155/80/13 studded. Any better sources? They also said its about $50 a rim if I didnt want to use my summmer rims. I often here its best to by a second set of rims for stuuded tires as they charge $50 to put winter tires on your rims and then another $50 to take off. So new rims are paid for in two years because of the service charge. Any place to get stuuded tires well under $100 a piece? |

These are 175/70/13's for $352.00 shipped. They should offer better traction than a 155. I've always upgraded from 155 tires to 175's on my Geos as the 155's scare the crap outta me in corners and wet roads. https://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/tirecart.cgi |

star. good point. I have 175/70/13 on right now and they are better than the 155 stock. Too bad the shipping on those studded is $68

If you are looking for winter tires you want to go with 155. The skinnier the better in snow. They cut through like butter. Go here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-NEW-155-13-HANKOOK-W401-WINTER-R-R13-TIRES-/360500388079?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true They are not studded, but studable. Walmart studs tires for $8.50 a tire. The link currently has a $100 mail in rebate. I would get dedicated winter rims. Same link but you can search for rims and none winter tires as well: http://stores.ebay.com/Discount-Tire-Direct/_i.html?_fsub=6&_sc=1&_sop=1. Don't know if you can get two rebates or not. Nor do I know when it expires. I will most likely be getting these rims soon: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-New-13X5-4x100-4x114-3-MB-Motoring-Silver-Wheels-Rims-/360443024858?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true hope this helps. EDIT: Offer ends NOV. 4 Edited by Smidgen, Oct 25 2012, 04:26 PM.
