Question Winter All Season Tire Source Northern VA?

Obviously there has been a lot of discussion on tires here and I have searched and ready many posts.

My question is for those of you that live in the Washington D.C area and know what are winters are like here:
Any recommendations on what tires/wheels to buy and sources of purchase in this area??? What kind of prices should I expect to pay?

Good and Bad experiences?
I think I am looking at replacing my stock tires with all seasons, but and not sold on the idea yet. Anyone willing to comment/provide advice on this?

Thanks in advance.

I used Dunlop Winter Sport M3s last winter, I put them in OEM size and put them on the OEM wheels and got myself some new summer rims.

I live in Arlington- used Pirelli Winter Sports

were great in the 2 or 3 small snows we had last winter-

Ordered thru Tire Rack, great service. Took the tires to Arlington Mazda, and they mount and balance for about 80 bucks-

Or you can buy a wheel and tire pack from Tire rack for more money, but less hassle in some ways...i plan to upgrade my rims in some time, hence just buying the tires for now and remounting each winter on stock rims.


I'd advise against all seasons, but that's my personal opinion-

I live here in NoVA, and the winters aren't too bad. I would suggest getting "winter" tires like the other guys here on this thread. The all-seasons don't handle horsepower in snow as well as the winter tires.
