Anyone have any winter tires for sale for the "17 AP2 wheel? Or does anyone know a place to get a good deal on some? I've never bought winter tires before, so bare with me here.

 

another local had a set of 16" rims with snow tires listed for sale. Check to see if they are still listed here or in the general classified section. Much easier to so you can swap them in the winter time with less work.

16" will perform better in the snow then the 17" will.

Someone is selling some. Even if it's just the wheels it's super cheap... Like 150$ I think. You may have to get new tires... Discount tire would be your best bet. I personally have Dunlop m2 wintersports on the front and hankook Ipikes on the rear. And I love them.

 

I actually work for Discount Tire Co. and I have been for 6 years now. If you need a price quote on some snow tires, just let me know. I can hook it up. We usually stock big name brands of snow tires like Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama, etc. If there is a particular brand that you want to go with and we don't have it, it won't be a problem ordering them. Also, we can price match our other competitors as well.

I would recommend running a smaller size all around just for the winter. For instance, 16in AP1 wheels, I'd go 205/55/16s all around and 17in AP2 wheels, I'd go 215/45/17s all around.

You might wonder why not just go with the OEM staggered sizing? It's because less surface area is better when it comes to snow since you put more weight down in that patch. That's a big mistake people make. Wider tires are actually worse in the snow.

Now I'm not saying that the back end is not going to slide out at all with narrower tires, it might or might not. It all depends on how you drive, how fast you're taking turns, and what the road conditions might be that day. You just gotta remember that you have narrower tires in the rear and not the wider ones anymore. Although, it is fun from time to time to get the back end loose, but of course, only if its safe to do so with no traffic around you.
