Yep. I don't mind having to put snow tires on. If I didn't I'd have to buy 2 sets of summer tires a year with the miles I put on. Putting snows on brings it down to 1 set a year (not being z rated I can usually get 2 to sometimes 3 winters out of the snows. Unless I use them for ice racing)

That's true I've had to buy a set of tires at least once a year or sooner since I bought the car an I obviously don't drive anywhere as much as you since your at 550k miles.

They are on a few pages back, I just haven't been home long enough to redo the hood and bumper to match them better yet.
