Spent $300 on a good set of winter tires for my truck

They paid for themselves the first time I had to drive the Parks Highway in freezing rain. The grip difference over my old all-seasons was night and day. Anyone have a favorite tire shop in the Fairbanks area?

Man, you're not kidding about that grip. I saw a video last week of a truck with bald all-seasons just sliding sideways on a patch of black ice out by Nenana. It wasn't even going fast. Your new tires probably just saved you from a ditch or a wreck. Good call getting them before you really needed them. I always use the guys over at the shop on College Road, they never try to upsell you on stuff you don't need.

How much of a difference do you think the tire shop makes for the install and balance? I've heard a bad job can ruin even the best tires.
