99green sport, how are those Yokohamas in snow? In deep snow? In snow on hills? (sorry about the hijack, but it might be good info for the OP also) Good ride, good handling on twisty roads? Thanks!

Sounds like an alignment issue not a balance issue. Get an alignment before you buy new tires.
Are you going to use passenger tires or A/T type tires? I vote for BFG A/T. Khumo makes a good tire also. I like to support local small shops when I can, ask friends about places they liked, its hard for us to even guess what chain stores you have in your area.

i agree with this guy

and costco can be a PITA, because when they are about 4 mins from finishing they take their 30 min break

thats what happens here atleast

We had a few snowstorms this past winter where I got caught 45 miles away at work with 1 to 2 foot drifts and the Yoko's have been great. They've gotten me through 7 northeast Iowa winters with no complaints.

I got my Mickeys from www.summitracing.com I'd suggest them to anybody. They have great customer service, and are a big enough company to have a crapload of choices for brands.
