Thanks, but the snow tires look limited. I suppose all seasons would be better than the summer tires, but am confused over a couple of things.
1. Are the michelin pilot sport a/s tires ok on this car, and are they better than the contis? Early on, I thought I saw this tire as one of the two winter options, and they are listed at tirerack, but not by Chrysler nor michelin as an option for this car.
2. Is the blizzak option, with 18" wheels retro-fitted to rear, a better option? does it screw up the car's computer?
3. Are there any other snow tires that will fit? (the dunlop winter sport m3's are not available for the front).
4. One dealer is hinting that if I buy something out of OEM, I will lose protection of the warranty. They said it has to be a z rated tire also. True? Or b.s.? Another dealer said the rating issue is bogus. I was also told by a dealer that if I got a michelin a/s, it had to be something called a pilot sport a/s p2 (more money than the pilot sport a/s). I cant even find it listed anywhere.
5. any guidance on the above.
