    17" wheels for snow tires

    In case anyone is interested, I ended up going with a package from Tirerack. The whole thing with Blizzaks, wheels, center caps and lug nuts came in at $1000. I skipped the TPMS as well. I usually wait until the first forecasted storm before I take off my summer tires so I can't give any...

    We're in!

    After much hand wringing and teeth gnashing, my wife has finally decided on the CX-9 over an Odyssey. The decision came down to the comfort and driving experience of the CX-9 vs. the space of the mini van. We currently own a Sienna and she was concerned that there isn't enough room in a CX-9...
