2012 Rogue Winter Tires

[tranh2]

Hey all,

Just joined this forum because I purchased a 2012 Rogue SV FWD with the 18" rims. I decided to go with FWD and get a good set of winter tires with steelies. Any recommendations for winter tires that would go well with this vehicle? Do they make 18" steelies for the rogue and how much typically? Also, because I have 18" wheels, is it alright to go down an inch since the Rogue also comes in 16" or 17" wheels?

Thanks ahead for replies!

i only order tires from http://www.discounttiredirect.com/ they have better prices than tirerack, bit slightly less selection.
i also like reading their reviews that people write. if im not mistaken, i ordered yokohama winter tires for my rear wheel drive stick-shift (which is a death trap in snow lol) and it handled very well all winter.

I purchased Nokian Hakkapelita R SUV last year. These are the best tires I have ever seen. However, there is no rebates and probably you can't find it at most of the tire stores. Even if you find, the Date of manufacture will probably be 10 or 11.
