Seems that for about the same $1000, I can buy some 18's on Ebay with new tires. Plus, the 18's I can rotate for longer overall life.

I guess my question is, does anyone have experience with the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires (practically the only all season tire in this size)? How long do they last? How do they perform in light snow? Is there a better overall route to go?

Any comments are much appreciated...
