Michelin AVS in Chicago anyone?

[kzaveri82]

Its tire time...!!

The convertible top crapped out on me, with one side on the boot popping and the other doesn't.... I read the posts on this group and dropped the car off at the dealer.

Need to get new tires as well. Dealer gave me a quote of $1220 for 4 Michelin Pilots.
I asked him if there are any 'mud n snow' tires for the Box, he said Porsche doesn't approve them.

Well there was this other guy standing there, he told me he got 4 michelin avs mud and snow tires from a place in suburban Chicago for a lot cheaper too.

The service guy said that he doesn't recommend those tires and there is a reason that Porsche did not approve any snow tires.

Now, I use my car a lot more in winter than in summer, I am auditor and thats when we work the most.

I am seriously considering getting those AVS all year round tires, any suggestions, experiences. ANyone know a good place to get tires arount the Chicagoland area.??

Thanks
