If anyone is interested, this is the lowest price on winter tires i've seen for 275/50/20 winter tires, Nokian Hakkapeliitta r3's for $74 each, shipping was $155. All in cost for them $451 + Tax. They processed and shipped them to me via fed-ex in about 2 days or so. Lowest cost for a set of winters i've seen was about $250 a tire or so, when I came across these I didn't think it was accurate.

I was previously running 265s Hankook i-pike rw11, had a failure on one tire last weekend temporary fix got me home but couldn't permanently (safely) fix it. Tread-life was towards the end for the hankooks anyway 6/32nds so I was already on the lookout for rebates and sales. I've had Hakkapelitta r3's on my previous RWD e63 and they were excellent in winter conditions. These r3's have been discontinued so it is new old stock but i'll get about 4-5 full winter seasons out of them well before "expiration"

Some of the big tire shops might price match too.

 

An absolutely astounding winter tire.
I didn't know they were being replaced - now it's an R5.

 

Agree, that is a great deal, I usually choose this or Blizzak, at this price pretty much no brainer.
