My main car is awd, but I only have summer tires on it. I don't have the balls to risk driving it in this weather. I worked last night and it was a shit show, literally snowed about 2-3ft. Our cars in the parking lot was buried with snow lol. Used a brush to clean off the snow, and it would instantly cover it up again as I make a full rotation around my car haha.
The dealership wanted 2.6k for winter tires + rims, and if I did it myself it would still be around 2k. I couldn't justify spending that much when the weather is only like this for few days a year, if at all. So I just drive my other old car with full winter setup, with temp license
Probably the cheaper way to go about it. Good thing you did not sell the old car.
I am trying to avoid the dealership at all costs. They gave me a voucher for a 'free' vehicle inspection and oil change. That Oil change will cost someone thousands after they have been told the car has all kinds of non-existent problems that need to be fixed...
Personally I will be looking at wreckers and craigslist for a used set already on rims. If I am lucky I can find snow tires on rims with 75-80% tread left for maybe 3-4x cheaper than it would be if buying new.
No way to justify spending that kind of money like you said. For how rarely it happens here it is not worth that kind of investment.
