I'm planning to get winter tires for my car (Steelies and possibly Bridgestone Blizzacks WS80). I was quoted by a tire shop (package) including installation would be around $760 plus tax. Is this a reasonable price? Or should I buy them separately and then have someone install them on the car.Thanks

We got rid of our older CRV (2010), does anyone know where would be a good place to list/sell the old winter tires/rims. I suspect the tires are probably not worth a whole lot given it's used, but are the used rims worth anything ? The rims are the black ugly ones for winter tires not the fancy ones.
