Will I have any problems with mounting the blizzaks ? I am thinking of anything to do with the run flat stuff or tire monitor sensors ?

Anybody have any suggestions ?

You will have no issues.

You might have to re-set the sensor...but that is standard for most tire swaps.
There are directions in the manual (re: resetting the sensor) ...if you haven't done it before.

Blizzaks are a terrific snow tire... I use them myself :smile:

Peace,
D
