Was asking about a new tire, since that's what I was supposed to be buying today, but the guy from craigslist totally tried to pull a fast one and brought me one of the used ones instead of spare new one he had that I was asking about, so I'm back to the drawing board for a little bit.
Might be shelling out full price for a new one through my family mechanic up north, in which case, I'll order it studded and have him mount and balance it.
If I happen to get my hands on something down here though, I'll have Mike do it.
Thanks guys. False alarm I guess.
