Blizzak Winter Tires question
I have 18 inch GP rims, and am having a hard time driving in the Chicago snow.
Is it cheaper to have winter tires placed on my old 17 inch rims and just swap those over for the winter?
Ideally, I want to keep my 18 inch rims on all year round, but someone told me it would cost more to actually unmount the tires and place new tires on those rims twice a year.
Also, do they make 18 inch Blizzaks?

I have a set of snows on other rims... its SO much easier and cheaper just to swap them out... my used rims cost ~600... figure $100 or so to mount snows, and another $100 to mount summers, plus the time to get to the shop...
it takes me 20min to swap out the tires (and get a tire rot. to boot) in spring and fall... and I get to check the brakes while I'm at it
