Winter Tires, need help ASAP
I need to get winter tires soon. I have a couple questions. First does anyone have any experience with just having 2 tires on the back and leaving the front 2 stock? Second, would there be a problem with instead of going with the stock size of 235/50-17 going with a 225/50-17 for the back? Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

I didn't realize he said he had the WS050's. Oh, that's right, he didn't! Not to mention that the only difference between the WS-50's and the LM-22's is the microcell layer. It is missing on the LM-22's.
