Default Bridgestone winters and Eagle rims

225/50 R17 Bridgestone Blizzaks (Ws-50)
Along with 5 star 17" Alloy Eagle rims.

They want $1,500 Canadian ( around $1,150 US) for the 4 times and rims.

They want to sell them for a discount because the winter tire season is over and don't want to store them.

Should i jump on this price? How are these tires and rims? Anyone have any insight for me?
Yes i'm going to drive it in the winter on non-blizzard days

I'm not sure what the (WS-50) stands for...the dealer wrote all the info on the card.

I'm also going to assume the other 2 are 245/50 R17


Thanks guys!

Will getting four 225/50 R17's effect my traction control?

What dimensions in 17" should i be looking for so i don't die in the winter

Thanks

You can get stock 17 inch rims for $300 and used 17" snow tires on ebay for much less than $800;, therefore, not such a good deal. You can get 4 Mich Alpins 235 for $700 brand new.

I'we got my Blizzaks LM22 for 600 and change. Brand new. Z's 17" stock wheels can be found for $300-400. So no it's not a good deal for winter setup.

Blizzaks are wery good winter tire, but I'm not sure is ws-50 speed rated enough, or what the difference. LM22 is what people usually get.

So if you got your Blizzacks for $600 and $300 a rim.... Thats $1,800 US.
The deal i can get is $1,500 CDN....so around $1,100 US.

This the thing to do?
