Just a thought - maybe someone else can answer this one.

Even thought the 760 came with 15" wheels - I believe that 14" steel wheels will fit (should still be the same bolt pattern.

What I have on my 245 is 25" GT alloy wheels for the summer - in winter I put on a set of 14" steel wheels with studded grips - Takes less than 20 minutes per wheel. No waiting at the tire shop in spring or fall.

Also - you could keep the 15" M+S wheels on when you are in Seattle (mostly rain) winter conditions, if you are heading east to the mountains - on go the studds.

I find I go through tires much less frquently this way.

Regards

Gordon Hull
