Question Winter tires on LS430?

Does anyone have winter tires on LS430?
I'm odering 2002 LS430 soon, and wondering what I should do with the tires since LS430 comes with 17 inch summer tires.
Has anyone bought steel rims for winter trires?
any suggestions?

Although the published info on LS430's says that the only 17-inch tires available are the "summer tires," we are finding in the upper midwest that cars are actually coming through with an "all-season" type of 17-inch tire that is not officially acknowleged to exist. Amazing as that may sound.

You may want to give tirerack www.tirerack.com a call, they'll have the answers you need.

As a general reference though, winter tyres would have a smaller width (or equal) with a higher profile (or equal) than OEM. I am personally using Nokians this winter.
