Re: severe snow tire certification
Man, screw this. Can't find a decent hard compound winter tire in 215/55-17 or 225/55-17 online. Plus, by the time you ship and then mount + balance at home, it isn't worth it. And, putting 215/55-17 Nokian WRs on the stock 17" is gonna run $810, best price locally. No doubt about it, I can get (4) 16" alloys with good, but less expensive, tires (read, not so quiet) for that price. At least I can keep the OEM 17" for dedicated autoX. Jezuss, THREE sets of wheels/tires! Where the hell do you put them all? She's gonna kill me.
Probably get these S-rated Winterforce M+S 215/60-16 for $52 each online, plus some Dynomat for the trunk with the savings.
These are the cheapo alloy wheel options from the same place for a pre-mounted/balanced tire/wheel pkg. Got a preference, or a better idea? I have to pull the trigger this week.
ASA LS5 (Bright Satin Silver) $139
Kazera KZ-V (Silver w/ Machined lip) $119
Kazera KZ-V (Light Grey Painted) $124
Sport Edition Fox 2 (Silver Painted) $119
Sport Edition Fox 2 (Light Grey Painted) $119
Sport Edition Fox 5 (Silver Painted) $110
P.S. Thanks for putting up with this thread, I wasn't prepared for such a PITA.

What's wrong with the Brigstone WS50? That is a full tread depth Q rated snow that is available in exactly the stock 17" size for the G, (215/55/17) $110 each from Tire Rack.
