Okay I know this is not the right time to be asking this with spring here and summer coming but my I ran into a problem finding winter tires.

When I pulled off my winter wheels for the season the Blizzak LM-22's tires on the rear were pretty well shot. The fronts were okay except for the fact that they are now 10 years old so they should probably be replaced as well.

The problem is when I look at Tire Rack I can't find any winter tires to replace them with, and this does not appear to be a stock issue, this looks like nobody is making anything that fits.

So can anybody suggest any winter tires that works with a 7x17" rim and 8.5"x17" rim? Currently I have 205/50 R17 and 255/40 R17.

Thanks Ken
