someone find me two (2) 205/50 r17 snows for a REASONABLE price...
i found two blizzak LM25s for $150 each which is great and they cancelled the order because they are "out of stock" awesome.
i got a flat and a bubble in the sidewall and i really don't want to drive around on two summers much longer.
any help?
one stock avus so i can finally make a full size spare out of the one remaining snow would be great too.
TIA and yes, i looked in the classifieds, etc

did you call any local shops ? they might have some leftovers
last year i found pirelly snowsports 240 (same specs as the m2- i got used from windycity) for 75$ / piece .. and i only bought 2 . they were looking to get rid of that type of tire.
i called again this season and they didn't have any "close-outs" .
give it a shot.
even if you find different size but the same rolling diameter you will be ok .

go to sears...more info inside
i currently work at the sears in annapolis..do more with michelin though but they still cut the check..but any who..they have a price match policy and they will try and tell u they wont do it for tire rack but its bs and tell them that
go on tire rack and print out the quote, with the shipping add them up and divide it by 4, u then take the copies to sears show them and they have to by policy not only price match that tire and then beat it by 10%..not to mention u get life time balance and rotation for free when u by them there..then get the alignment, 64.99 vs. dealer who wants 140.00 and it comes iwth a 6 month 6k mile warranty..and take it back right before 6 months or before 6k miles and tell them its pulling they will re do it and it will be under warranty again..thus keep doing this process and u have cheap tires, free balance and rotation and life time alignments..lol, gotta love a dedicated employee

called. no 205/50 17s... at least not reasonably speed rated ones. found a local place
with more LM25s for me. not cheap, but not $$$
$350 out the door for two. another week.
gonna try to fill my bubbled tire and roll on that for a week... maybe...
no more risky than the donut!
