My new 2010 came with pirelli slicks which is awesome, but now that winter is approaching I need some snow tires.
Anyone know of good tire/wheel combo deals? I'd rather get a set of cheap wheels to throw the tires on instead of switching the slicks on and off my rims. I dont want to spend a fortune so any good deal would be appreciated.

Although you can get some nice wheel/tire combos from tirerack, AM and others, they're typically pretty pricey. I'd hunt for some used OE wheels (this forum, Craigs List, ebay, etc) and find a good dedicated winter tire (I like tireracks survey data). Firestone makes a winter tire which I put on my son's Camry and he said it really licked azz. Or, you can spend some bigger bucks on the bigger named winter treads.

If you're looking to save money, buy the wheels and tires piece-meal and call around to a few local shops for estimates on mounting and balancing. Since you won't be having them DISMOUNT or dispose of any tires, it shouldn't be too bad.
