I plan to go to our local tire shop (Formerly called America's Tires) and discuss wheel/studless snow tire pricing, looking at a smaller wheel/tire size that the stock 19". I always price out on Tire Rack, including shipping, and they will match this. And then they will swap out the summer and winter tires free every year and it goes a lot faster. Going with a smaller tire has multiple advantages. I'm not willing to fork out as much for the wheels as the stock wheels and I know that over time they will show some wear...I had that with my mini....but frankly it's hard to keep the car clean much of the winter anyway so it's no so noticeable....
