Made the switch a few weeks ago

I bought new tires and rims from Tirerack (the old bent rim problem). After quite a bit of research I bought Dunlop SP5000 Asyms, and I've been very happy with them. They're billed as a "performance" all-season tire and since I'm not really into pushing the envelope I can't say I've had any handling or grip problems. Of course, I put 190K miles on a 92 Jeep Cherokee (now my back-up car) so anything with reasonable suspension and handling would have represented a quantum leap.
I think we've had as much snow in SE Mass so far this year than we had all last winter so I can say that these tires do well in bad conditions. They aren't snow tires by any stretch of the imagination, but I felt comfortable with them.
So make the switch if you want - there are definitely a lot more choices in the 205/55-16 size.

By the way, one of these days I plan on having my Saab wheels straightened. Anyone know of a place in SE Mass or Rhode Island? Thanks.
