17" webspoke Runflat Winter replacement?

I have the 17" Web spoke wheels with the runflat tires on it. What should I get as a winter tire to put on these wheels for the winter? Does NOT need to be a runflat. In fact, I prefer a software better rideing tire (aka non-run flat).

Is there a 17" all weather or snow tire to fit my MINI?

Hello tirerack dude???

Hi Alex,
I'm not an agressive driver at all, especially in snow/ice. I'm really looking for the most comfortable (soft) ride I can get. I'd proibably prefer a set of all season's, so I can jsut leave them on and ditch the rock hard run flats.

I'm in NY, so we get plenty of the light snows (couple of inches) and freezing temps. I'm not worried about big snow, as I'll jump in the F-150 Screw at that point. ;-) (I'll need new tires for that soon too!)

So I guess I'm looking for 17", all season "comfy" tires. Whatcha got? We'll talk truck next, gotta go out and check what I have on there, got a weird custom wheel on there that takes an odd size tire if I remember correctly.
