It seems to mainly be my 17" wheels that I could not get them for. I now have a nice set of alloy wheels with new studded winter tire that I will just change over with my other rims and tires in the spring. These are 15 or 16". I got them in Bend at Americas tire. I priced Tire Rack.com and with shipping etc, would have been axactly the same that I paid at Americas Tire. My most recent trip over the pass with packed snow and snowing good was a breeze. Even reaching 65 in spots, but I try to keep an eye on that, because even though I've been driving in this for 20 years without a scratch, I know all too well how easily a bad spot can change your situation. Otherwise though, good grip, a little spin on the start so it has to be eased on the start with packed snow.
