I just picked up a set of new wheels with a set of Blizzaks LM-25's for the winter. I have the 350 w/18's but decided to get 17's for the snow and to save some cash. I've yet to put these on, waiting for the first snow fall. Only heard good things about the Blizzaks

I went with the Dunlop Winter Sport M3. I wanted to go stock size but had to go with 45 in front because they don't make it in a 40. I just had them put on last week. Obviously we have not had snow but I have to say they handle great on dry pavement, as good as my stock tires, well better considering it's cold in Chicago. Great traction on a cold rainy day.

So what's the total size of the tires on your front and rear? Did you stagger?

Did you order the 17's or get them locally?
