I understand where you're coming from with the narrower tire angle, and that may make sense if he's goin to get a separate set for winter, but it may not be a good idea if he's going to be using the same set for both dry and snow.
MikeyC, the 225s are perfectly fine for everyday use. Sure, I can't take corners quite as hard as I could with 245s, but I don't have the money to pay for something that breaks if I flub up taking corners that hard anyway, so it's probably a good thing that it came with all-season 225s.

[QUOTE=edbochung,Oct 17 2005, 08:10 AM] I posted on the tire forum, but what snow tires should I get and what size, if I do keep the S2000?
Should I consider the Dunlop Winter Sport M3s or the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50s?

I'm looking for luxury, reliability, and good MPG more than performance at this point.
How about an RSX, Mini Cooper or Scion xA/xB?

I'm having the same problem. Keep the S and buy an 81-86 jeep cj7 for the snow. It'll be next to nothing to insure, and you can pick one up for half of what you're selling the camry for. Take the left over money and pay your insurance for the year. You'll be set.
