There's another thread on this: several people have purchased Pirelli PZero Nero tires in a 245/40/18. This gives nearly the same revolutions per mile (810 vs 806) as the stock 225/45/18s, so the speedo is not affected signifcantly.

The quality of service in a shop is dependant the equipment used and the training the techs have recieved. I would suggest always using touchless mounting equipment such at the ones made by Hunter and Coates. The shop manager should be able to tell you if his equipment is touchless or not.
The snow tires i have left are:
215/55/17 Pirelli WINTER SOTTOZERO -- 129.00 ea
225/50/17 BS BLIZZAK LM-22 -- 176.00
225/50/17 BS BLIZZAK WS-50 -- 138.00
225/50/17 Pirelli W210 SNOW SPORT -- 147.0
225/5017 Michelin PILOT ALPIN PA2 -- 153.00
225/5017 Continental WINTER CONTACT TS790 -- 156.00
225/45/18 Continental Winter Contact TS790 -- 195.00
225/45/18 Pirelli W240 SNOW SPORT -- 176.00

I have no connection known with anyone in the manufacture or sale of tires. I am merely an enthusiast.
