I was wondering what would be a good size match up to put on a S13 for 17" tires front and rear. It will be seeing a few snow and ice days if i put them on, so whatever has the best traction would be appreciated

 

Wouldn't you save a lot more money if you just bought a couple(or 4) stock steel wheels and used them for snow?

 

right now i'm rolling on stock rims, with M & S tires. But I was just curious. I was gonna get a new set of tires for my other rims, and just in case I decide to switch em, I wanted to know what would be a good size around. Most likely I won't put them on, but I would also like to know the best size around for control and traction even for normal weather.

 

17" snow tires are not a good idea.

Unless your brakes are so large that you can't run a wheels smaller than 17", then go with a set of 15" wheels (steel or used alloy) and have snows mounted on them.

Especially since mounting alone will cost you ~$100 to change from snows to summers if you have them on the same wheels. And the tires are going to be much more expensive in that size as well.

use chains! hahaha

 

or you could just move to hawaii

 

I just got back from Hawaii, That place is beautiful. I wouldn't mind living there, but its just so damn expensive. You know what though, i didn't see too many 240's down there. I was in Makena, Maui and Waikiki, Oahu mostly
