dedicated rims, no question. Check out discounttires too, they usually have free shipping. I have also had great success on craigslist.

Default Studded tires versus winter traction tires

We have had both studs and the newer winter traction tires. The studs actually provided less grip in most conditions, were noisier by far and destructive to road surfaces. I have been absolutely amazed at the traction from the high-grip compounded tires, with siping. They are also actually quieter than our summer high speed-rated tires. We will never go back to studs.

I got 16" wheels and Michelin x ice xi2 tires installed over the weekend, but only have about 10 miles on them so far on dry pavement. I'll report back on the traction when winter comes back.

One interesting note -- I didn't get TPMS on the new wheels and noticed today there is no warning light on the console. That's a bit troubling. . .
