Which tire size did you settle with?
Just a few minutes ago I placed an order for 255/45/18 Pirelli Sottozero 240's.

As for the wheels, I didn't like tirerack's wheel options, so I went with 18" SVE drifts. Now, I just need to find a tire shop that I can trust and won't scratch new rims, which may turn out to be a hassle.

At least your car is super clean!

i had the sottozeros on my last car and it didn't do all that great in the snow so I went blizzak lm-60s this time. I also have my stock rims but it was only like $200 more to get wheels and tires that come mounted and balanced so I just went that route figured it was easier. Looking at the car I should have got 19" snows for the stock wheels.

My tire store guy said Blizzaks are not rated as good as other similar sizes.
Will see how the Sotto's are this winter. Wanted the stock look that's why I kept the original rims.

Just came home to find out my winter wheel-tire combo has arrived. All I need now is a set of lug nuts and go get these mounted.
