yes, shouldn't be any problem. you should keep a spare (regular or donut) in your trunk in case your car did not come with one. other than that, go for it!

Check this page out for user ratings on a myriad of different tires. Depending on what your needs are, take a look at a specific category. I'm personally going to get the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S ties, which are ulta high performance all-season tires.

we changed the bridgestone runflats on the SC to michelin pilot sport a/s tires, and we couldn't be happier. the runflats were just terrible. right now costco has another michelin deal, $60 off set of 4, and costco includes install and road hazard warranty also.

Excellent choice , michelin pilot sport a/s are the best all season tire out there.

I have the Pirelli's on my GS and sofar I like them.I havent had to deal with snow yet.That will come soon enough.
Michelins are always a good choice also.I liked the look of the Pirelli.
