Planning on purchasing a set of winter wheels and tires for my car but was just curious to see what everyone else was running...

 

back to stock 18's for me..

 

I've got black 17" steelies with a 215/55/17 goodyear nordic tire.

 

Got a set of Kumho KW27 IZEN on my stock 18 inches rims. handles pretty good on ice, water and dry pavement, don't know yet for snow as we did not realy had some yet... Just installed them on december 10th

 

17" black steel rims with 225-55-17 Nordics...
The center hubs are showing so I may get some covers...

 

Back to Stock 18s with Goodyear assurance comfortred touring since the continental dws are on a major backorder

 

www.tires-easy.com i pike 245 45 18 honock studable had the tires studed for 20 a piece last yr here in the northeast worst ever snow worked great i also mounted them on stock rims i got on creagslist. this setup is not for everyday hw driving noisy and a slight vibration but in the city i can stop a go threw anything. tires were about 135 a piece.

how is the ride, steering, grip, noise level on the Assurance Comfortred versus the Eagle RSA?

 

I'm only on about 500 miles but so far I like them similar to the continental dws I have on my 20s. I've driven on rain and some freezing rain and its been great vs the RSA. More grip and cornering IA great very little noise and very comfortable ride. Tread Warranty is 6 year / 80k miles.

 

hey all, i just bought a 2011 sport tech and I too need winter tired and rims right now. When i bought the car i inquired if i could go from my 19s to 17 inch steelies and well the parts department of dealership wasn't exactly sure. They said i could put on 17inch wheels but it would be depend on the brand of the steelie and if it would fit around the callipers. Anyone out there with sport tech model that have 17 inch rims on? any problems with the 17inch rims?

 

I have 17" steelies on my 2010 sport and it works fine... Have the place you are buying your package to try the rims before buying..especially the front where the rotors are generally larger

 

if i elect to choose the 17inch rims what size tires should i choose

 

How does cvt work in the snow? well?

 

Most people run a 225/55r17 that I have seen...

 

Well finally decided on a set up and here it is... 17 inch Sport Edition wheels from Tire Rack with Blizzak 225/55r17's...
