ditto. unfortunately mine are 205/55/16, so the sidewalls flex a little.

Default I know - I had a hard time taking the 17s off. You can likely find a package (more)
straight from TireRack. I live in Canada, so I bought from an Internet dealer up here to save on shipping / customs / exchange rate. I spent a few extra $$ for some alloys instead of steels (I couldn't bear to switch from nice 17s to steel rims).

I got my whole package for $1400 CDN - Dunlop M2s on Replica wheels.

Yup, those too. Not to mention ruts in compact snow and "hidden" objects - like rocks

Default JUST got off the phone with tirerack....
The guy, Mason, seemed very knowledgeable, suggested a 16" rim and tire package, alloy wheels (Fox 5's, not bad looking), with some Blizzak's (forgot the model). Complete package, balanced and shipped, is $894. What do you think?

There are a few guys on the forum with the Fox 5s, & they seem happy. I don't know Blizzaks well

Default GET THE DUNLOP WINTERSPORTS, they always push Blizzacks
I think they make more profit on them!
