Hi everyone,
A friend with a very limited income finally broke down and bought snow tires for her Swift. I'm glad she did, but the cost of remounting tires twice a year will become problematic.
Currently the new snows are on the stock 13s.
She has the set of all seasons that just came off of the 13s, but they don't have much life left in them, so going bigger isn't necessarily an issue, particularly if going to a 14 or something makes enough of a difference in affordable tire selection.
Not my car and it's not located super close, not sure what the offset and bolt pattern are. Internet says 4x4.5, but is less forthcoming on offset. Since the offset would also depend on the rest of the wheel dimensions... They don't need to be pretty, they just need to fit. Just looking for an affordable and safe way to help keep her on the road.
This won't be critical until next Spring, so I can afford to stay on the lookout for a good deal. However, getting this taken care of sooner would ease some of her stress.
Hoping someone has something sitting around they can part with cheap, but if you know of any other sources, feel free to chime in. If you have some with decent tires, buying both might be an option as well.
Thanks
