TSX - Winter

I plan on getting some 16 inch steel rims with 205/65/16 inch tires.
Although, I may stick with the stockies for this winter as the tires are new so should have more grip, but its not likely.

Well sorry for my lack of precision, but the question was for owners located in Canada (or US East Coast). Sorry
So I assume the best thing will be to buy some 16" steel rims + Winter Tires (
$$$$

Blizzaks get my vote too, I've been really happy with them over the past 8 yrs or so. A bit expensive and they wear fast, but they sure do grip. What I'm not sure about is if going to 16" steelies is worth it, just to get a tire only 1 cm narrower (205 vs 215). Only a 4% difference. I'm thinking maybe go the same route as JaTe and just put winters on the stock rims and maybe buy some nice 18's for the summer.

I was trying to decide between the new Nokian Hakkapeliitta 2 with studs and the studless Michelin Arctic Alpin on 16" steel rims ... except that I now see that neither is available in a 16" TSX-Accord size (so as to avoid clearance problems). Hmmmmm - for the company that makes the best snowblowers in the world, they don't seem to have thought this through completely.

I'm planning on keeping the all-season tires that come with the car. If you're going to switch to winter tires, you might as well get 3-season tires for better performance in those seasons when the stock ones are done.
However, it's the law in some areas to have chains on your tires in certain conditions (Lake Tahoe, CA area when it's bad - may not be as cold as in Canada, but gets a good amt. of snow). So, I know that Acura recommends some chains that won't damage your car, but I wonder if there are any better ones out there for similar price. I've seen some before that are like wire-type and either "net" or snap on. Thoughts?

I think that the all-seasons will be acceptable enough to get me through this first winter... and then next year ill be able to consider my options.
