RE:  New wheels/Snow tires

Scott Williams is giving excellent advise.  Sears should handle the 
Blizzaks in 175/70-13, which is the correct size.  Only alternative would 
be 185/65-13?  But Blizzaks have limited life and I'd save them for 
another couple months if your current tires are not hydroplanning.  Less 
skid depth generally translates to better traction in dry, all other 
things equal. 

And running lowered MKI, especially if you have any kind of air dam, you 
can act like snow plow if you get deep, unplowed snow.  I used to remount 
the stock duckbills on my 78 when I ran it in winter.  Best not to run 
your vintage car.  
They have no fender liners and the fenders will go that much quicker.

My $0.02.
