OK - I am think Blizzaks or Artic Alpins - my wife has the 9-3 ragtop with the 17" wheel package and I knowe those P6000's 45 aspect ratio tires aint gonna cut it - Sooooooo - I know I need to go down to at LEAST a -1 and get 16" wheels, but do I take it to -2 and get 15" wheels and even narrower tires? The back of the manual details a 16" Winter Wheels setup for the Viggen and if that igood enough for Saab it is good enough for me, so - any thoughts out there on good setups - We are in Southern New England and we had no snow last season but that was unusual - we were here for 95-96 and the 110 inch plus snowfall year - so I know about snow - but mostly its the crapola you need to be ready for - the packed ice and snow, the melted junk, the sleet that is more common in the Hartford area. thansk - Joe in CT
