PS I bought mine from him and they work great, I went with the 205/65/15's as the 195's are better for really deep snow but the 205's are better for combo snow and clear but still go through 8-10" of snow with no probs!!

I agree, ask for Luke. However, now snow tires will get an SVT through 8-10 inches of snow unless it is the lightest of flakes. Detroit got 8-15 inches of snow last week and there were too many cars that got hung up on the undercarriage. None that I saw had snow tires, but if the driving wheels weren't touching the ground, snows don't matter. Ground clearance matters more than type of tire sometimes.
I don't mean to flame you, but I didn't want some poeple to get overly confident with snow tires. I have Blizzaks on a lower car than the SVT and still couldn't get the car down my street until enough of the snow was packed down where I wasn't going to hang up. I got down with a lot of scraping, but I blazed the trail several times with an off road equiped 4x4 pickup.
