tire/wheel package from Discount Tire Direct

I am looking to get the RAGE BREAKER 16X7 5-114.3 40S rims and MICHELIN ARCTIC ALPIN 215/60R-16 95Q BW tires. I am not too concerned with the looks, I want the best winter traction performance I can get. Does this sound like a good combo ? Any other ideas ? I would like to order the tires/wheels within a week to be safe.

I'm partial to Blizzak WS-50's Had a set on my Accord last year and I was passing SUV's with ease.

I've got Yokahama Winter AVS snows, and have had Blizzak WS-50's. Both very good performance.
I haven't owner the Alpins but have heard they are good too.

Re: tire/wheel package from Discount Tire Direct

That'll work...but we are going to have to stagger your tire size. I think you spoke with one of my reps...Brian Shaw the other day. If so...I over heard and have let him know that the stagger will be necessary for your car.

Thank you,

Re: tire/wheel package from Discount Tire Direct

Ok I have changed my mind I will like to go with Yokohama Guardex F721 215/50R-17 91Q B for the front and Yokohama Guardex F721 225/55R-17 95Q B for the back. Thats on Rage Breaker 17X7 5-114.3 42S rims. If this works Im getting it.

I guess 215/55/17 would be better for the front but you dont seem to have those.
