I will then be selling my 1998 Contour LX. I know this is early but I want to be prepared, but I will be needing winter tires this next winter. Does anyone in here use factory CSVT rims for their winter tires? I really don't want to get plain rims for the winter so I was hoping that I could just pick up another set of rims and get some winter tires put on (or maybe get 17" rims for summer and use the 16" rims for winter). I haven't heard of anyone doing this so I just wanted to make sure that it's possible.
