I like many of you are on a quest for winter tires/wheels for my MS6. I live in SE Michigan and our snowfalls are not terrible, but can be slick and the Protenzas will not cut it. I have decided to pick up another set of wheels, either a set of 17" OEM 6's, or 18" OEM RX-8s. I called to get some information on tires at discount tire and the Dunlop Graspic DS-2s I am looking at in the 17" were Q-rated while the 18" was V-rated. Could someone elaborate on what exactly is the difference and will I notice whatever it is?
If I go with the 17's, I would prefer to get a nice tire, if Q-rated is going to suck for me I really need to re-evalute this option.
If I go with the 18's, how much danger am I in bending the wheels on a pothole with the stock rims (as I will be putting my summers on the RX-8s
)
I'm looking to keep costs down to about $150/tire and below with below being underscored. The 17" were around $124 and I've seen them as low as $109 on tirerack.
Thanks!
