Since my 2011 Zed will be my only daily driver, I need a good set of snow shoes, and the selections seem to be way better for 18s and Tire rack keeps indicating issues with certain 17s fitting...

Plus, these wheels that I was kinda digging only come in 18" or bigger:

I have the wheels 18x8 ordered the Michelin tires. Will post pictures later and first impressions .... glad to rid myself of the dreaded RFT

They say 17" are the best for snow, I will get by with 18" I don't plan to drive too much when there is snow on the ground. I got a good deal on the wheels so 18" it will be for my winter set.
