    Looking for some snow tires. 225.55.17 is the oem size, should be able to vary from it slightly.

    Justin at Vision Speedworks has these in stock, or can get them quickly. He is running them on his personal car and is liking them so far. A couple of others from MAC have them and their reviews are good also. $95.00 each for the size you are looking for.

    I've talked to Justin already. Was trying to find some used tires, and the 225/55/17 are out of stock.

    I've got my all seasons from my 12 legacy that I just took off...225/50-17, Bridgestone Turanza EL400. 6-7/32nd's remaining, even wear. Build date was late 2011 IIRC.

    I know they aren't snow tires, but honestly, I drove them in the snow last February/March and in our first snow this year...they did very well. I just put on my Conti Extreme Winter contacts and in comparison, I.almost feel like I didn't need to buy the snow tires lol.

    I'm thinking $200 for them...let me know.
