Winter wheels and tires
I need to get me a set of winter wheels and tires, I am looking at practicability and value here, no showroom quality (it is lost on me). What does anyone recommend? I am new to the Evo experience, wasn't expecting to have another set of tires for winter driving. Again something cheap yet practical for winter driving that can fit on my evo.

A search would probably be best, however, we do carry a few reasonably priced wheels and tires that can get you through a winter. You can see all the winter options available to you at the following link:Winter Wheel Packs Simply provide your year and model and the site will display all available options

Thanks for your reply, Neal, as I have done a search, and nothing really practical has come up. The wheels and tires are for a 2003 Mitsu Evo 8. I do not really care what the stuff looks like at this point, I just want the cheapest, wheel/tire combination that will fit over the BREMBOs. Basically if I could put on OE steel wheels, I would. This car is my daily driving car to go to work or whatnot, I just need something where I can drive this thing in snow.
I don't mind changing the wheels/tires every season, so I am not looking for an all-season solution, plus I wouldn't know what to do with the stock Yokos.

Simply provide your year, make, and model on the right and the site will display every available option. Not all items might show since some things are on backorder.

I am sorry that this is kinda late, but why even put that link in the thread when all I get is this:
"
You selected: 17" Winter Wheels for 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution .
To purchase a winter Tire & Wheel Package, complete Steps 1, 2 and 3.
To purchase winter tires separately, complete Steps 1 and 3.
To purchase winter wheels separately, complete Steps 2 and 3.
The preferred winter tire size for this vehicle is not currently available. This could either be a temporary out of stock condition, or we may be sold out for the season and may be out of stock until next fall. Please contact our sales team at (800) 541-1777. You may also want to try going back one screen and checking for alternative wheel diameters for this application. "
Really, are you guys ever getting winter tires for Evo's, maybe a tire/wheel package?

For example, if you do most of your winter driving on well-maintained highways (like I do) it makes sense to trade off some deep snow traction for high-speed stability and braking.
But, if you live in rural Vermont and you'll be driving on winding, snow-covered back roads all day, a tire that handles ice and deep snow will be more useful to you.
If you tell us more about the conditions you expect to face, we can help make some informed suggestions.

This is what I get when looking up 17" packs for an EVO on our site. Again, we haven't received all our winter stock yet so not everything will show on the site. The site reflects real time stock, so keep an eye on it or just ask me what we currently have available. Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama, Pirelli, and Dunlop will all have winter tires for this car when stock arrives around the end of the month

So how do the ContiExtremes measure up to something like the Pilot Alpin PA2s you have listed in the Winter Tire and Wheels section? The Contis of course are a more year round tire but it seems like a good option for a Winter Tire as well. Is this a true statement?
