What are you running for snows on P5?

I'd like to find out what everyone is running for snow tires and wheels on their Protege5. If you could list the tire size, AND the wheel size (diameter, width and offset) it would be a great help to me (and eveyone else).

I'm only really interested in the Protege5, but feel free to list what car you are running them on also.

Thanks!

I bought 4 Mazda 15" steelies from the dealership for $60 CAN each with Hankook W400 Winter Radials, P195/55/15 ($84 CAN each). Night and day difference from the stockers in snow.

Mantis, I live in Mississauga. Where did you get those rims & tires at those prices? You mentioned you bought the rims from a dealer ship. Which Mazda dealer?

Thanks.

Burlington Mazda.......Those Prices Don't include taxes and install. Total installed was $640 plus tax = $735. It is an in-stock package they are currently offering. Just had mine done a week and a half ago.
