I just saw that Discount Tire Direct which is the online version, is giving
$100 off any purchase of 4 tires or $200 any purchase of tires and wheels.

Discount Tire

Maybe that would help somebody looking for tires... I am thinking I need to
pick up a set of mud and snow for the winter... Any recomendations?

What kind of tires are you running now? 

Some of us use our factory all season runflats and rims as winter tires and put on summer only performance tires and special wheels when the weather wams up.

Jack,

I have the OEM 17" Dunlop 9000 DSST's Runflats on there now.
From what I have heard they dont fair so well if the white stuff should
happen to hit. My car was a california car, they dont know what All-Seasons
are down there I dont think...

Granted, hopefully the car will be parked if it should snow, but I would like
to be prepared...

That's always my plan but we always seem to get a suprise now and then.  I just picked up a set of used Pirelli 240 SnowSports ( http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli& ;tireModel=Winter+240+SnowSport ) off NAM that I plan to mount on my s-lites.  I looked at new and was able to pick these up for 1/2 the price (they have less than 3000 miles on them).  There are deals to be had if you want a dedicated winter tire.  Othewise I'd pick up a good all season.

I think snow tires are a waste on a MINI. Unless you can pick them up really
cheap. Once the snow is that bad you are
bottoming out and just plowing. A good all season tire should be fine
without the performance hit in dry weather. We don't get that much really
bad weather in the PNW to justify snows.

I just saw this thread.  This seems to be a good deal.

Does anyone know anything about the Falken tires?

The wheel selection is decent and I am trying to decide which looks better:

I like this one but the rim engraving is little too ricey....

This one is similar but more expensive.  I like the hyper black but I know the dish cannot be as big as shown.

This Enkei is only 17.5 lbs.

Now if this one came in silver without the bloody red, it would be a winner

Decisions, decisions.....

Highbid - if you want these KDWs, you better convince me not to pass this up...

I have been running Falken Azenis RT-615's for my summer/track tires and I like 'em!  Great dry traction, quite good wear especially considering what they've been through and marginal wet traction.  (I wouldn't take them anywhere near snow...)
One good turn deserves another...and another...
