Nowadays, I buy my tires at Costco, but about 25 years ago–before Costco carried winter tires–I bought my Michelin Arctic Alpin winter tires, and–later–Michelin X-Ice winter tires from Tire Rack. I opted for having them mounted on their own steel wheels, so that I could readily change them when appropriate. They arrived promptly, were perfectly-balanced, and were cheaper than the prices being charged by local tire dealers.
Nowadays, Costco does carry winter tires, but since I no longer have to go to work, I can just stay off the roads until they are cleared, and no longer see a need for winter tires.
