kia the stock tires will work just fine my advise to you is start the car at least 10 minutes before driving to allow proper warm up tempature . also if possible try to keep the rock salt off your car

ok.....
no 20's
My stocks are 16" so i guess i will throw them on as soon as i hear of snow! My boyfriend has a navi, so hopefully we will drive that instead on the lex, i'm thinking of getting a little car for the3 winter months just in case i have to go somewhere!
thanks
BTW: whats up with the warm up time........i heard once no warm up at all, another person said 5min, then 10min! Whats the standard?
