Go as small as you can for winter. I have 17's for summer and 15's for winter. Sidewall flex is your friend, as is a narrower tire.

Do you still have your stockers? Why so much for tires? My Coopers kick serious snow ass, and they were only $53/each. I think retail is around $70 or $80, which would be only $280 or $320. Unless you're getting rims, too, then it's a good deal.

Go with 15" rims & tires. I just bought 4 new steel rims ($54.00 each) and 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks ($114.00 each) mounting etc included. Sure. the tires are expensive but they are probably the best winter tire on the market!

Yeah, you want those little stock rims to take all the winter abuse.
