I only made the suggestion in case your tires were in poor shape.

Myself, I loved the set of studded snows I had on our '90 744 TI.

When they were shot, I was able to drift all the way around an 1/8 mile oval rotary circle - don't worry too much about safety, it was empty and relatively safe, dry road and right next to our police station.

One thing you might do to make your money go a bit further is to think, looking forward, about your next car.

In my case, my last set of 740 snow tires were sized to fit 850s - they were not much bigger, and my tire shop ( A REAL tire shop - a family shop that I have dealt with since 1963) helped me determine the correct pressure to use.

The following year I had a nice set of 1 year old, low mileage snows for my wife's new '95 855.
