Ask RS sponsors for quotes, they're cheaper than either of the above two!

while we're on this topic... what do you all inflate your winter tires to? do you go by the recommended settings found on your door OR do you inflate winter tires a few (2-3) more psi above the door settings, as some tire shops recommend?
My door settings are front/33 rear/32 so my winters are set at front/35 rear/34 'cold readings'
btw.. cdn tire has a digital guage on sale "nascar digital tire guage" for $10. regularly priced at $25. good deal.

now the winter comes, even tho different tires i would appreciate my tires to be a bit less inflate or at least to stock recommandation. Therefore i will stick with 32psi all around. More psi, less grip,but less wear on your tires.
