Got a price quote of $716 for 4 Bridgestone Blizzak Revo1, 4 GM specific hub-centric steel rims, mounting, road force balancing, nitrogen filled, 4 sets of lug nuts and delivery.
Lets see: (50/rim + 20/bal + 120/tire + 10/nut set) x 4 = 800.
My guess is that they include the balancing for free. Not a bad deal, especially if the tires are worth more than 120.
It hurts, doesn't it? That's why I'm going to settle for the OEMs for a couple of winters; they only have 5000 km on them, so they shouldn't be too bad.
On a side note, Sears in the states has a "Firestone Weatherforce" winter tire in the 205/60R16 for $60 each. You have to drive to Massena, NY to get them.

Yes, that's taxes included (GST, no PST) and shipped from B.C.
The tires are on sale for for $99 a piece right now.
Would cost about $750 at CT for Goodyear Nordic tires and multi-fit rims (which may have issues). Either way it's painful.
We currently have almost 26,000 km on the OEMs. Environment Canada is predicting below average precipitation this winter, so I'm thinking of going one more winter on the OEMs.
