So, tell me, folks. How do I convince the wife we should get some winter tires? I'm just looking to get some for the car we drive the most, the Fusion. I went on to Tirerack.com and priced out a winter tire & rim package. With the stupid tire pressure monitors, mount and balance, it came to the low, low price of $750 . That's with the least expensive winter tire, the Dunlop Winter Maxx, and 16" steelies. Bottom of the barrel. When i submitted that for consideration, she practically screamed WHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTT?????????!!!!
The nice thing about these is, Ford uses the same bolt pattern for just about everything these days: Fusion, Focus, Escape, etc, etc. So they would also bolt right on to the Transit Connect we have on order. We've had an exceptionally bad stretch of weather for the past week, and i've really had it with sliding around on the highway and spinning the tires all the way up hills. If the stability control on these new-fangled cars isn't going to let me have any fun (drifting and so on), i'd like to at least have good traction.
Anyway, what have you all done to get these past "the committee"?
