My tire size apparently isn't common. I actually kept erroring out of several tire websites for all weather tires because those companies didn't have availability. Plenty for summers/all seasons and performance tires... just not all weathers. I was just hoping to aim for a ball park figure and I wanted Nokian all weathers and basically the site was like, "Lol. You cannot for this size.".
For wheels, I guess I could have done that. Due to extra time and effort external wheels, fees and scheduling availability, I think I'd save $100-150 per wheel at most. In this case, brand new and convenient makes it worth the extra. $3100 to around $2600-2800 isn't going to be a major factor in this case. I would also hate to get a wheel/rim that's somehow incompatible with the tire/car and create a headache for myself. I was even contemplating swapping the summer tire to the OEM and the winter (currently on the OEM) onto alloys, but decided against that effort.
I just walked into UrbanX and got someone to sort me out. But even he was saying there weren't many options for my tire size.
