Winter tires and Wheels

Here's the long story if you are interested.

Make the long story short,

I want to buy snow tires and wheels to get my 05 C230 Sedan to get through the winter. and the Michelin Pilot Sports that came with the car are just too "sporty" for winter conditions


Here's what I need to know, Can anybody offer me even more competitive price?

ASA ST4 17x8 (Tirerack.com @ $179 per wheel)

and

Michelin Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 (tirerack.com @ $145 per tire)

ofcourse this is before tax and shipping.

I'm in West Lafayette, Indiana(School). But also frequently in Downers Grove, IL Areas(HOME). If there's better price available I might even consider driving an hour to so for pickup. Thanks for the help~

I would also recommend Dunlop Winter Sport M2 (have had them for 2 winters on 16" regular sedan rims)

or Winter Sport M3

I believe that M3 is on par or better than M2 - must be a great tire!

Thanks...the Winter Sport M3 Looks so much more "aggressive" than Pilot Alpin

HI Luke, I send your a PM e-mail earlier but I never recieved a reply back. This is the price I saw Tirerack.com, will you be able to give me better price in person?


P.S. You sound like you've already reply me with a price quote?
