I sold a set of 20" snow tires yesterday. $267 each plus mount and balance.

I was laughing when I did it because it reminded me of the recent automatic transmission thread:

And that isn't even true here- you still have to know how to drive in the snow. Throwing money at shifting will let you get where you're going without any understanding of what you're doing, but throwing money at snow just means you're in even deeper trouble once things catch up with you.
