I notice there are couple threads on Winter Tires but none seem to mention anything about using the wheels that came with the car. Please tell me if: 1 - bad idea to use the factory wheels, 2 - Winter tires such as BridgeStone Blizzak LM-22 size 225/45R18 will not fit.

I am looking for the most inexpensive approach to get me through winter - Toronto driving - but don't want to spend $ on a new set of rims + tires. DON'T WANT TO SPEND TOO MUCH $$$.

Thank you for any idea, comment, recommendation, etc...

 

When the roads are bad, take public transit. Nothing cheaper then that :D
