My MCS has the Sport Pak with the 17" tires. I now have to make a (somewhat quick) decision about snows. I can get a terrific deal on 15" tires and wheels.

I'm under the impression that I should not go below 16" with the Sport Pak suspension.

Am I right or is this a non-issue?

I have an MCS that has all 3 packages and I'm running on the stock 15" MC wheels and tires for the winter. It doesn't handle as well (on the dry), and they're not run flats, but they sure ride nice! I think I might get a bit better gas mileage too!
