I agree with Simon S...grab a set of 15s from a scrap yard. And unless you're tied to an expensive set of 16" tires, the added sidewall height of a 15" tire, and a small drop in psi, will help prevent damage from potholes. When looking for a set of snows, also try to go for a narrower tire as it'll cut through snow rather than roll over it. 195/65/15 is a good choice.
I just purchased a set of Super Aeros, and now have three sets of wheels for two cars. I don't plan on putting snow tires on either, so if you're in or near Chicago, maybe we can work something out for those 15", 15-spoke wheels(or whatever they are. Stock on early 90s CD).
