I finally got around to ordering my tires last night from discount tires ebay store and stacked that 30% live.com cashback + the direct 5% discount and a 10% paypal/ebay coupon. I'm going to end up with the pair of snow tires on the front and my normal all-seasons on the back.
Your front brakes traditionally account for ~70% of your actual stopping power and since those are my driving wheels the added traction up front from the snow tires will certainly help. As far as some people saying the rear will slide more and make it harder to drive... I've never had an issue like that. The tires on my rear currently are the OEM tires and are damn near bald and I was out driving last night in snow covered roads without any problems with my rear sliding on me (other than the times turning that I pull the ebrake for power slides)
Anyway I'll likely have my tires in Wednesday since they ship UPS ground and have a warehouse in Ohio which should go out today. Usually UPS ground from that area is overnight.
Walking into the store and getting this pair installed would have run ~$212 after the cashback and installing I'll have saved around $80 by buying online even if I take them to discount tire for installation!
