They are 225/50/17. Front and rear, same size. Smaller tires in the snow is better.
I got them for $120 each, but that was at cost.
Tirerack is showing them for $109/ea. That is a damn good price. These are the WS-50s.

Also, for snow tires, get the same size all the way around, don't stagger as you would with regular tires.

You can't order same size all around? Thats stupid. Just place two seperate orders then.
You do not want big tires for snow tires -- snow tires need to be able to "sink" as much as possible in order to make contact with pavement. If you get too big, they will just "float" and won't be as effective.
They probably do that because of soem stupid manufacturer rule or what not. Either way, I have same size all around and the car doesn't care. Its only one size difference than what I normally have (normally 225 front, 235 rear).

The size only means how much thicker it is off the rim right?? So since it's the offset. And Your sayin get them all the same size.. Should I get the front tire size all around or the rear??
