i know many people buy steel wheels/winter rubber, and then switch back to their alloys/summer rubber once the snow is gone. the thing is, i don't plan on driving this car much except in the winters, so i'm wondering if i can't just put winter tires on the 17 inch rims that came with the car... any thoughts?

thanks much
