I have two sets of wheels and tires for all my vehicles.

One is a summer tire, not all season, but a performance type. The other set is a winter tire with the severe snow and weather traction Mountain/Snowflake symbol.

Can I get around with all seasons? Most of the time. But when it’s 2am and penn dot s still sleeping along the road somewhere I like the assurance that actual snow tires provide.

Also, get all four, not two. Yes even if you have a rear wheel drive, the extra steering ability with snows on the front is amazing.

People have forgotten that our roads get bad. This first time you have somewhere important to be and you can get there with snow tires while others are parked waiting for salt trucks you’ll be glad you did.

The stress and frustration you'll save is well worth it.

Try here for wheels:

Many larger salvage yards list their inventory now, see if any local to you have anything.

Yes Craigslist is a good place to look but you can also search FB Marketplace.

What I typically do is find a set of nicer aftermarket wheels to run in the summer and I put my winter tires on the factory wheels. But that's just me.
