Hm, exactly what I was looking at on tirerack but I was going to go with black rims and a 245 square setup. That's the size I've seen suggested on here for that rim for winter use. I guess it depends if you want a little better snow control (225) or better dry traction (245). And the fact 225s would be pretty tucked in without spacers.

$1770 shipped with wheels, tires, tpms, and mounted and balanced.

Not sure anything but tyres with spikes would work.

Definitely not worth buying winters in Texas.

Here is a guy using my exact setup wheel and tire size. It maybe looks a *tiny* bit tucked? I don't notice unless I really look.

Updated. I'm surprised we don't have more people on the metis leader.

What do you guys think of these winters?

Matches stock 19s, get it should be narrower for better traction, but these seem to have good reviews regardless...
