Snow Tires: Cool With 2, or Worth Going For 4?

Um not really... You can find them brand new for under 100 bucks each. The newest model (ZR rated I think) run at about 145 but some Firestone stores will haggle (some will even compete with internet ads)

Currently Available Prices and Sizes

I have one pair with 15k miles on them and they have maybe 60% of the tread my brand new set I just bought do.

So they do last and I think pay for themselves. Besides, even if you go to the 145 a piece route, it's still cheaper and more reliable than a beater (assuming some one else doesn't hit your car)

Of course in the long run it would be cheapest to find a set of V6 16" wheels to throw them on as well assuming you don't have a break upgrade.
