I recommend calling around after you set your mind to a tire. Prices vary wildly.

I received quotes between $680-$1100 for the same exact (Nokian) tires all within a 20 mile radius from small shops.

The adirondack area is ONE of the areas in the country that I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND snow tires. Been up there many times (Round Lake area) during the winter. They can get a lot of snow…and it’s COLD…damn cold…first and only time I ever saw -40…don’t want to again.
