WTB Tires! 215 or 225 for 17" OEM Rims

Good morning everyone,

I am looking for tires for my 2008 OEM WRX 17x7 Rims. I am looking for 215 or 225 and I need them to be an all-season as well as snow worthy due to my Mother and Brother living in Yosemite Park and I visit them occasionally during snow season.

I prefer Conti DWS, but can't be a picky person as I have a tight budget.

Let me know what you have and a price.. Thanks!

What's the percentage of the tread and how much are you asking?

I was trying to find the OEM specs on the tire, but I couldn't find it...the tread measured at about 6/32 when I most recently checked and most snow tires come at around 9-10/32 new, so maybe 60%?

I'd be cool with $150.

That's a damn good deal. Hopefully I can sell of a few more parts that I have and will get them from you ASAP!

Just wanted to let you know, I took the tires off today and the rear left has some solid camber wear. I think I worked on the suspension on that corner awhile ago and spaced an alignment. It's not unusable though, and the other 3 are solid.
