  fwiw, if anyone is in the central ohio area, i know of a firestone
that is have a special on hk50 blizzaks (buy two get two free). don't
know what their prices are, but i'm sure someone will be interested.

> I would advise getting skinnier tires as they handle better in the snow.

  i have to disagree here. i drive a p.o.s. hyundai for a delivery
vehicle and it only has 155/70/13's on it and doesn't handle worth a
damn. i have 185/60/14's on my '85 scirocco that are in dire need of
replacement and they hold the road better than the hyundai. only reason
i know this is that it snowed a couple inches today. ymmv, of course.
