Good winter tires on 17's isn't easy on a budget. I've got Michelin Alpins and they did awesome in the winter in Colorado, and I snowboard about 30 days a year, so I hit some nasty roads.

Or you can buy my 15' Celica rims and threw some all season or snow tires on them, in the long run it will be cheaper, 15" tires are like $45 compare to $100 plus for 17", also if you slide and hit a curb, no biggy, 55-60 sidewalls take the damage and not the rims...I bought these for the TC, but I plan on driving my CRX during the Winter from now on...PM me on my set...

I am getting the Avon Tech M550 A/S, which are ok in the winter.. but I dont drive mine when it snows I am more concerned with having good wet and dry traction.

I have been shopping around for tires since I will be replacing mine next month at the latest, and I still find the best deals on tirerack.com

You can also get a set of 15" steelies with Continental ContiWinterContact TS810's mounted on tirerack for our car for $476. They sell winter wheel and tire packages. Maybe not the best winter tire of all.. but pretty good nonetheless for the price
