What do these Pirellis cost over there? I hate to think, but may need
such tires eventually (haven't looked into tires yet, but there are
certainly low-profile performance tires available for heavy cars, and
mine's not a camper, thank dog).

Pirellis are generally far superior to Mushelins, which are mainly
basic Froggish rim-protectors (better-than-average tires, but that's
far from a compliment to Michelin).

Here in NZ only an ice/snow tire is a winter tire; all others are
all-season. Fortunately, as soft winter tires are NOT good for grip
on dry or wet roads.
