New here to the forum but vast experience with winter/summer tires change overs. (Michigan's Upper Peninsula) Have used Tirerack many time before and always had good experiences. I have gone with snow tires on the OE rims with TPM (when available) and summer tires (better handling) on aftermarket rims without TPM. Have been doing this for some 30 years on my cars/vans and check my tire pressure once a week summer or winter so TMP's are nice but not the same as good old getting down and checking the tires. I do have to press the read out reset each time I startup but I can live that. Snow tire should be mandatory for any who drives in a snowy climate. Both General and Firestone have good winter tires at a good price. Blizzacks are nice but can be pricey. Good luck this winter. 2007 Focus, 2009 Focus, 2010 Fuzion, 2011 Flex all have 2 set of rims/tires.
