I got a question for you guys. I have 2005 coupe, with 19 inches rims. I called discount tires, they quoted me $1100, for just the snow tires. I went on tiresrack.com and can get a nice 17 inch rims and tires package for $1500.

Should I just land for that?

 

Don't go for snow tires in 19"-not enough meat and u will fudge up your rims w/ salt and such-go w/ the package-search for more info on this subject.

 

Go for the 17" package on tirerack.com, save your 19"s for good weather! =)

 

What they said........17's.... you'd be nuts to drive in the winter on 19's...esp. w/ potholes!..it's just not worth it.

 

NO NO NO.. None of the above.

Go pick up some 350z base 17's for $300. I found 4 people selling them around where I live.

I got 4 wheels with tires for $350, and sold the 4 tires for $75.. total to me $275

Then buy some dunlop Graspic DS-2. (225/50/17 front and 225/55/17 rear)$
103 each for the fronts and 97 each for the rear at tirerack.

Plus $25 a wheel to put them on. You might be able to find them locally for less than $125 installed, call around.

 

Much better off with the 17's.
