I had spoken to tirerack and they had offered our tire size in a variety of snow tires but they are out of stock . . . maybe someone here has been able to find a set and could give us a lead.

OItherwise I think I'll go with an all season in the 245/40/18 size though I really didn't want to take that route . .

I was able to put the Dunlop M3s 235/45/18 on my car with no problems, and no rubbing in the wheel wells...though I was one of those people that was abnle to get the last of Tire Rack's stock of these when they were only $89 / tire.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 225/45-18
Dunlop M3 225/45-18.

At this point in the season, it seems like those tires are sold out almost everywhere. 17" tires are still available.

You don't really want to go wider than the summer tires for winter tires - that gives less grip on snow/ice.

Gordon
