most distribution centers have already increased the prices for there tires, and the rest should be upping there prices november 1st.

I just talked to my wife, Walmart has Dunlop Graspix DS-2 in your sze (205/55/16) for $112 a tire. Here is a link to the Tire Rack review page.

They also sell the Nexan for less, I had them on my last car and they seemed to work great (until I got hit by a truck) Just remember that any snow tire will be way better in the snow compared to an all-season.

Not news Hype, really people pulling long ass shifts at the main OK Tire distribution building telling me they are running out of them. No news hype.

Ice bear 300...
This is the size I had and it was recommended by Ford but I do agree that they've rubbed a bit so I may consider going to 50. Thanks for mentioning.
What size is used by other SVTF owners for 16" ?
Winter Tires? - CanadaSVT - 11-08-2008
I have Hankook W401 on the Marauder. My SVTF had 205/50/16 winters.
