Chris i just want to make sure you seem like you would do this but have you taken the time to go through and read people's review whether they like them or not?

i have checked them out, but i thought that these would be the best tires for my car, and the wheels are only steel wheels, nothing else, why, do you not think the blizzak tires are any good?? let me know, thanks

thanks todd, i was hoping that wayne would chime in with his thoughts because i know he is a firm believer in strictly snow tires on cars, but i guess i've barked to many times on my winter tire issue?? but thanks for the input...

Here I is!
Sounds like a good price on the Blizzaks, but the wheels sound high. Can't you find some used wheels somewhere for a fraction of that price?
I have Goodyear Ultra Grips, or something like that. LOVE them!

Justin, congrat's on your 2,000th tweet of 20 characters at a time!!!!

heyy guys!!!!

had one of those days. just a ton going on. but i did get a 97% on my history midterm which i was doing the party dance for lol! got 8/10 on my chemistry homework tonight,,,took me three hours to do 10 flippin problems! that's like the best i've ever done of this stupid chem homework this semester! So let's see...98% on business test, 97% on history midterm, hmmm gotta chemistry test next week,,,will the trend continue???? man i'm praying!!! that would be unreal!!!! =D but who knows.

anyway blew 72 bucks today that i didnt exactly have a piece for the monte that will probably be worth it after i actually get it. I bided on a "intimidator" badge for the trunk of my car,,,haven't seen one of those for sale in a hella long time and i just couldn't control myself lol. Oh well what's done is done, can't wait to get it! I'm gonna try to get my boss to let me work on Wednesday since I don't have school, so maybe I can make up that money then, so no biggie!

Justin, congrats on 2000 posts =D and Brian that was a hilarious remark about the 20 characters thing! =D

Chris, idk virtually anything about tires or i would try to help ya out but i'm completely useless on this subject lol

So yeah hope everyone is having a great day!
