need advice on winter tires, i work 1.1 miles from home in nj

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

these tires seem to be a great choice for my needs. I work at the chevy dealership 1.1 miles from my house and if the snow is really bad I can bum a ride form my mom in her malibu maxx or my sis in her awd equinox or one of my coworkers. I don't wanna drive around in a beater, that wouldn't look good for a car salesman, and I really won't need to drive anywhere much if its snowing, so do you think this is the best way to go? I really don't wanna buy new rims or steelies, just wanna keep it simple.

I drive an SS and ive decided to purchase a whole new set of wheels 16's or 17's b/c winter tires for 16's or 17's is quite a bit cheaper and itll save the life on the stock wheel from gettin eatten away from salt, those winter tires you want are $500+shipping... for another 100 or 200 dollars you can get some 17's with tires(also can be your drag wheels b/c their lighter

Go to Tire Rack. Just picked up some winter tires from the with the wheels... Alloy 16" wheels were $75.00/wheel... Tire Rack had steelies for our cars a couple months ago but no longer list them on their website... They were $65.00/wheel
