I am trying to find decent winter tires, was looking at getting 16" rims, and tires, or
was wondering if these tires would work on my 17" oem rims, or If I would be better to buy 16" rims and winter tires,The winter here has very little snow, lots of rain, and some ice.

anyone used these tires before?

If you live in an area that gets more cold and snow I would go with the winter tires. I would suggest the Dunlop Winter Sport or the Blizzak LM. They are going to handle like a performance tire in the dry and wet but give you the traction you are going to need i the cold, ice and snow.
If I can help let me know.

 

We don't get much snow, but lots of rain and ice, which do you recommend?

Do you ship to BC? What do you recommend forgetting the tires mounted, if I order them through you? Will the 17's be too wide for good snow traction?

Thanks

 

Interested also. Would the 255 rear be too wide for the OEM 17s?

 

Tire rack came up with the 255/40VR17 for the rear in the Blizzaks

I know oem is 245, will these be effective in the snow?
Or will the goodyear work better, because they are narrower

 

Jim didnt suggest that size, that is what the website gave me,

Jim are the Blizzaks available in OEM sizing?

thanks

 

Has anyone used these tires? Or others on 17's? Do they work well on ice and in snow? Anyone??

 

I just ordered at set of the Eagles F1 All-Season today. I'll keep you updated on how they work out. I don't plan on purposely driving in the snow, but I wanted a tire that would work just in case I went out and we got a sudden squall.
