I currently run Potenza G009s on my stock 17" rims. I do NOT like their performance in the snow (since I had an accident on them last season). I like them in dry and rain conditions -- very nice tires -- but they are starting to get low on tread. Maybe 6 months left on them at my current commuting rate.
So I am considering buying blizzaks or some other winter tire to last me from November - April or so, then putting the potenzas back on for summer next.
Here's my dilemma, though -- I can't afford a second set of rims. How much am I looking at to have the snows mounted, balanced, etc? Should I just ride out the winter on the Potenzas, and get the Proxes 4s or whatever come spring? Or should I get the blizzaks, have them mounted on my OEM rims, and re-mount the potenzas next spring?
