Same here, great tires, I actually like them more than my stock 19 dunlops (i know it's apples vs oranges). 4 tires fit just right with the back seats down..

Not the best idea. If you were to get in an accident, those wheels could fly into her like a projectile.

Good to know. I picked up a set of LM-25's which are V rated and supposedly the "performance" Blizzak.

I just picked up a set of Michelin X-Ice 2 with Hartmann RS4 reps in 18". Looks great but cannot comment on the performance yet :-) I did have a choice between the PA3 and Xi2 and decided I would sacrifice some dry handling performance for ice/snow traction.

Mommy is on travel out of country, so had to bring her along. The tires were to her side and wedged in well. Would have to be t boned on the drivers side for them to have hit her. They were right next to her as well so not enough room to really get up any momentum.

I picked up a barely used set of 245/40/18's on Ebay and trying to decide whether to go with a 8" or 8.5" rim width. Snows generally run a bit fatter than non snows and OEM 18's are on an 8" rim.

Bought these Blizzak LM-25's at tire rack closeout, $125 each, mounted up on the stock peelers just fine, $125 apiece! 225 width means a slight stretch, basically no side bulge, but great for the price. Not on the car yet as too early here, but mounted and waiting in the garage....

Also any downside to swapping tires on the same rim over and over? (Besides the install costs)

Yes. It is tough on the tire sidewalls and you're increasing the potential for wheel damage.
