Swapped on my new 17" wheels with old all season tires. I will drive on these until the cold season and then put new studlsss tires on these rims. Odo 33920. The original Dunlop all seasons are showing their age. I might get 2,000-4,000 more miles out of them next summer.

I found a set of 17" factory wheels for $250 locally with some used all seasons on them. I'll swap these on and use them for the summer and then put snow tires on them.

Topped off at 189 miles, so Fuelly odometer will be 189 miles behind actual odo. Currently the dash reads 27.5 mpg, but I don't know when the dealer topped it off, so I won't add this first fill-up.
