Have exact cost at home - but total with shipping was around
$900... This is the first time I've ordered from Tire Rack, gotta say I'm impressed.. Call them they will quote you the whole thing.

Don't forget the antiseize either
Put it where the wheels contact the hub and a little on the bolts. I had a nightmare getting the snow tires off my A4 in the past without it. Use copper based antiseize, especially if you take the ar to another autocross. (It has a higher melting point than silver based)

Got it from Car Care Specialties...
Their phone number is 877-796-8300. The product is Wurth CU 800 Anti-Seize, item # 11357, $18.00. It worked great last winter. They also have a (useless) website that you can't order from at carcareonline.com. I found them through posts on the A4 forum from other A4 owners that also experienced the fun of removing their snow tires with a sledge hammer and block of wood. BTW, my snow tires just arrived from Tire Rack as well. Same wheels as yours but with an Artic Alpin tire. The funny thing was, I only received 3 tires. A few hours later the nearby Sears Automotive store called to let me know it was delivered to them by mistake along with their order from Tire Rack.
