shumby - may I ask what you paid for your winter set up in the pics above and where you got em? Tirerack? Did you do the install yourself? Or does the dealer do it for a small charge? Your rims look great - what are they?

One more question folks -- Blizzaks come in LM-25's and LM-22's.
The LM-22's are cheaper but the LM-25's are "run-flats" is this better?
And why would one need TPMS on run-flats?

you paid 2500 for your setup ??!!
btw. whats a senor nut ?

also, i gota a friggin deep chip on my pait, mid way up the rear wheel panel. its logically and physically impossible to get a stone chip up there, but low and behold, i see metal !! so whats the best way to deal with it ? its about the size of a house fly. shouldi just use the touchup pen ?
