That's what I was thinking initially too ... they will most likely be available for pretty cheap as factory take-offs from somebody but then I realized they were 18's.

Just did a little research on DTD & TireRack and surprisingly there is more to choose from in a 225/60-18 size vs. a 225/65-17 ... both of which would give the proper dia. so not to screw up the speedo & odometer while giving a better width for running in snow, where wider is NOT better !!

225/60-18 size cost anywhere from $89 ("S" speed rated Firestone Winterforce) up to $205. Bridgstone Blizzak LM-25's (130 MPH "H" speed rated, minimum I'll put on my car) go for $149.00 each clearance @ TireRack.

225/65-17 size I could only find two ... Blizzak DM-23 "Q" speed rated @ $106 each or Pirelli Scorpion "T" speed rated for $111 each ... these are also both TRUCK tires !!
