    I used these snow tires for one full season, although looking at them you would think they are brand new. I had fresh OEM TPMS sensors installed when mounting, filled with Nitrogen (helps to avoid the TPMS warnings due to temperature fluctuations) and they were "perfection balanced" by a high performance auto shop.

    I purchased the Challenge wheels used (bare) for $1000. There was some very mild curb rash on three of the wheels, not noticeable unless you look closely. I purchased the LM-22 Blizzak wheels from a tire shop in Massachusetts for $1100. The TPMS sensors were $600. Mounting balancing and nitrogen was another $300. These wheels have cost me $3000.

    Selling for $1500 OBO. Prefer local buyer to Connecticut area.

    It has been said that the Phaeton has no problem "getting going" in the snow on all seasons, it's the stopping that is the challenge. With a newborn baby, I did not want to take any chances. With these wheels, I actually enjoyed driving in the snow. Do not hesitate to PM me with any questions.

    They came through pretty clear so you can see the tires still look new. Do not hesitate to write with any questions.
