I live in Montana, and think I will put snow tires on my JSW I've owned for 6 days. Our JSW came with 17" Goal wheels. Should we put snow tires on these wheels, or would we be better off getting steel 16" wheels and tires from tirerack.com? It doesn't look like it would cost much more to get wheels and tires from tirerack than it would cost to just get the tires here. Any advantage to either setup? I've heard smaller wheels are better in snow? Also, what damage can occur to the Goal wheels in snow conditions? We don't use much salt here in Montana, but sand is common, and we will probably drive to Wisconsin this winter. Salt I think is common on the roads there. Any suggestions?
Finally, any suggestions on which tires?
