how much? oof they are way down in fairbault? eek
I'll just warn you right now... you may find Mazda6 owners selling their 17" tires (Michelin Pilot HX-MXM4s). Don't buy them! I know I sold mine right away because I hated them so much!
They are also a rather popular OEM tire for other applications. AVOID THIS TIRE!

I drive up to Eden Praire/Chanhassen daily...I could load them into the car sometime next week.
Send me a PM if interested..

I could get you some new snow tires cheap. I got some Blizzaks for a little over half what they sell for.

i got tires. thanks guys. u pull 15" steelies with unusually good tires (some off brand though) for 40 bucks. all i had to do was grind down some of the front calipers so the big (mustang) calipers cleared!
I'm happy with the Pilot Alpins I bought for winter use (they were out of the Dunlops I preferred). Just have to get them ON the car!
Did he turn off the traction control? It does more harm than good in these situations!

we tried with both. with the traction off, it seemed to go better once he was moving at city street speeds, we put it back on so he could control it easier. the car drove in the snow fine it didnt slide it just would spin. blame it on the tires 100%.
