Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Edit:
Found what I was looking for, thanks Kyle!

Yeah, I know, little late to be looking for snow tires now, but I didn't realize how bad the tires were on my wife's 01 ZX3 until I sold my 9-2x and started driving her car. They still have plenty of tread for rain, but they're terrible in a couple inches of snow.

So basically, I'm looking for either a cheap set of snow tires/rims, or just some 15" rims. I picked up a set of snow tires/rims the other day that don't actually fit on the Focus (stupid me, again), so I could use the tires off those rims if I need to. I only need these to last until the end of January, since I'm moving overseas in Feb. Not interested in all seasons, since this is our only car now, and it needs to get us everywhere this winter.

I'd do up to $200 (maybe $250) or so for a whole set, or $100 for the rims. I'd prefer tires/rims, since I wouldn't have to pay for mounting/balancing, but I'll take what I can get. And I really don't care what they look like. As long as the rims are round, and the tires have tread, I'm interested.

Edit:
Forgot my location, I'm down in Rochester, but I don't really have a problem driving up to the Cities if I need to.

you looking for a set of Steelies?

what kind of tires did you pick up?

I'm in Rochester as well...

15" Steelies would be perfect, though my wife still isn't convinced that cheap steel rims look awesome in the winter.

What I've got right now are some decent 195/60/15 Widetrack WinterTrax tires on steelies that won't fit on the Focus. So I can just get some 15" rims that fit and swap the tires, or get a whole new set of tires/rims. Either way doesn't matter that much, I figure I'll just sell what I have left over on craigslist.

Well, I've got 2 sets of steelies that would work on the car.

The set on the car I'd be willing to get rid of. They have pretty new Pirelli Ice Carvers on them.

I'll shoot ya a PM.
