Last Call on Snow Tires - Please advise

Ok I did my homework and I feel in the cleveland winters , I definitely need some snow tires....last winter was a bear on my stock eagle - rsa's

Anyway..

I think for price/performance, Dunlop Graspic DS-2's win my heart:

I've done my searching but I just wanted to do a last check...

I'm plannin on gettin 225-50-QR17 Fronts and 225-55-QR17 Rears.
This setup is correct right? They're going on my 04 stock 17" rims...Anyone have any other experiences on this setup?

Is the Q rating ok for the coupe? I was on the phone with a separate dealer and he kept telling me i'm gonna blow my tires out cuz I need a V rated tire...Told me only tires i could get would be 1000 out the door..seemed a little steep.

Just want to make sure I'm making a worthy decision...Seems this should work out tho....Let me know you're thoughts!

I used to have the blizzak ws-50s (Q rated). They won't blow but the handling really sucks. Sidewall flex is ridiculous. Spend a little more and get the dunlop winter sport m3.

I'm pretty happy with the Blizzak LM-22's, which are V rated. 198.00 each at tirerack (for 18's).

I've been trying to post on the classifieds but can't seem to get permission (paid the $5, moderator please help) so please forgive the post here.

I just sold my '04 G35C and want to sell my set of snow tires/rims.

Pirelli Winter Sports on Moda R6 rims
225/50/R17
225/55/R17

I was extremely happy with their performance. No qualms about driving in a blizzard.

Rims are in mint condition.

Paid $1550 from tire rack and would except $775 + shipping.
