I have a set of SS rims now, want to put a summer tire on them, something in the 255/55/17 or 28" range.
Also want a winter set of rims and what's where I cannot decide.
If I should go with another set of SS rims and put 255/55/17 snow tires on it or possibly 235/60/17. (I really want to stick with the 28" tire size)
Or get 4 steel rims and go with 235/70/15 tire for winter.
SS rims seem to have dropped in price down to 250/set.
But the advantage of steel rims is that the winter season is not that long anyway, 3 months maybe at most where you can anticipate snow/ice, and I would have greater choice, not to mention that they would be cheaper.
Also with the steel rims, what kind do I get? 9C1 maybe, it looks better than stock wheels? I just don't want the ghetto look.
In general, does 255 or 235 handle better in the snow?
