WANTED Maine Mini Owners Winter Wheels

Anyone got some snows on rims I could buy?

I just lost my winter beater and had to pull my mcs back out. Wasn't prepared. Just looked at Skip Cahill tire in Edgecomb and they are pretty expensive (thanks to them being in high demand now. Normally their prices are good.) Plus I'd like another set of rims that are not my nice factory ones.

My current tire size is the stock 195/55/16 size. I will do 205/50/16 as well if I really have to.

4x100 Bolt pattern.

Preferably a set of 4, but I might consider two if they are the 195/55/16 size.

Must be fairly close to Wiscasset

Solved

I bought a couple snows just to limp me through winter.

They are Yokohama iceGUARDs 195/55/16. Got um for like $115 a tire mounted and balanced.

Here is another tip. Don't put snows on the front and leave the back with half worn all seasons. Your car WILL spin in slushy snow. I had to buy two more tires. I don't know what model they are, but I know they are Nokians. Same size as the Yokos.


EDIT: They were Nokian Nordman 5's that were significantly better than those Yokos.
