Just put on a set of 18's...it was the same price to go 18" rubber as it was to go 17" and new rims.
I guess the deal is with the blizzaks is that they contain multiple compounds in the rubber. the outermost part is a nice soft 'grippy' material that rocks on snow and ice. It then moves to a harder, more all season compoudn beyond that (50%) i think.
The dealer i bought from was mixed as well; he said they were great for the first 50%, then they were pretty much a regular all season tire. My lease is up next year, so these will give me plenty of wear till then.
Sure beats the Z-rated 'racing slicks' i had for the few late snowfalls last year...
