Hi jmacmaster. The reason these are all I could get is that I didn't start trying to get any until Christmas. And that is because I drive an Aviator with 17" wheels, so it took that long to find some rims for winter use at a good price. No one makes plain steel wheels in the 17" size for this vehicle, not that I could find anyway, and I looked everywhere. Lot's fancy expensive wheels, but no plain cheap steel ones. I eventually found a set of used stock wheels on ebay, cheap but not until late. No use buying tires with no wheels! Around here we can get any brand you want, but the winter tires were all sold out by the time I went shopping. I was lucky to get the Toyos. And the wheels.
We live in a good sized town, lots of stores and choices, but you got to be early to get snows around here.
I looked for reviews, but there weren't any on this particular tire, from the online tire stores. Must be too new. Had them for Toyo's other snow tires, so I went by those since they were good.
I think I'll write a review myself.
Thanks for the help. To see my town look at Detroit on a map, head north about 50 miles and cross the river to the right, and there we are!
