Snow tire recommendations

I remember when I got my new Kia Forte, it was the end of March so at the end of June I went to my usual garage where I get my work done and asked if he had left over snow tires at a good price, he went and looked at his stock and said he had 4 at $75.00 each including install and balance, that will do fine thank you. Far cry from $150.00 each. Seems to me I got 4 rims for winter with the deal at no charge.
