"best setup I've ever used" wasn't descriptive enough? LOL My car is going back to BMW in a few weeks so my setup is up for sale. You're not too far away so you should consider it. I paid $1,450 from Tirerack two years ago and they were used for roughly 6k. Only had them on for about a month last year. They have TPMS and everything. Looking for $1,000. They have 2-3 more seasons on the tires, depending on miles traveled and the wheels are mint.
In all seriousness, I've used Blizzaks and Pirelli snows and they didn't even compare. The car just drives in the snow and they're still a performance oriented tire.
