Well, now I'm doing some tire shopping. Seems the dealership/factory won't help with this, having no recommendations other than the $700 deal I mentioned earlier. That's for some Bridgestone BLIZZAK 12/55 16 on after-market steel wheels with hubcaps. Yeah, I could probably buy additional alloy wheels, but that's more money.

Using Google, I found a site with tire reviews and such. Looks interesting. Figures that such a thing would exist!

The BLIZZAK tires appear to have good customer reviews, in agreement with DEI37. I'm a little hesitant to just buy the first thing that shows up, though. Is it normal these days for tires to come pre-mounted on wheels? Sounds like an expensive way to go, or does it really save money by not causing wear on the tire from being remounted multiple times on the same wheels?
