What was the cost? I just got a quote for XDS2 for $677.00 per tire. I was thinking about going with the Toyo M608z again but they had over 1000 back ordered.

I don’t have the estimate sheet handy, but it was well below that. It was roughly what they are going for on Amazon. Apx $525. I will check and re-reply if it is much different than that.

Last Fall, my Toyo M655's were about $425/ea shipped to my door. I could find a matched manufacter date set when I looked locally.

S, I got three estimates, and the highest one was $565 tire. Don't have the other two at hand, but they were less than that. I believe the lowest was around $535.

How you liking those? I had the same issue 4 months back and the guy at Les Schwab had so many hours of back and forth emails with me that I decided to pay more for my 2nd choice tires to compensate him for his efforts (I'm dumb like that).
Hopefully you've had a chance to do some snow/ice driving on them?

This past Winter was not really trying. We missed most of the inland snow when we stayed on the coast during last year's dump. Wear is good even though they are more aggressive than the Continentals. They go well on unpaved roads even when wet with less slippage and tread packing. I bought mine online and had the local Schwab mount and balance them. I have been going to same store since the early 90's and know most of the staff. There is one store closer to me, but they don't have the knowledge or skills of this established store.

Unless you winter camp, which you don't indicate, i can't see why you would run your 19.5s in the winter anyway. Expensive to wear out, rough riding and even the best 19.5 for snow isn't as good as a mediocre LT tire.

My 19.5's do well on Stevens Pass and wear better than any LT tire I owned.

I had the same experience with the Toyo M608, they were the best winter tire I have used.
