The original bolts won't fit, but he will give the other bolts when you get it installed.

I don't think they have our tire size in the Ice Guard. The blizzak have a better reivew compared to the W300. On some reviews, they complained about the thread wear and slipping when using the tires in the second season...

My friend found the Ice Guard for our size for the 17", which cost me $700,
with the attached rims for $570, which total up to be $1270, don't know if this is a good deal or not and not sure if the Ice Guard is good enough for toronto's winter.

Actually tirerack only has two blizzak and pirelli's in the 235/60 r17. The list of all sizes I was comparing with the 1010tires.com lists which didn't have it. Congrats again for your purchase.

TMPS sensors required on winter rims?
Hello all,
Excellent advice in this thread. I'm pricing out winter tire and rim packages now for my wife's GLK. Tire rack gives an option on their website for adding TPMS sensors. Are these required and if not will I get an error message of some kind all winter without them? What is everyone else doing about this... ie: having the sensors from the stock rims moved onto the winters, going without, or buying separate sensors? They're not cheap! Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers from the Maritimes... where is isn't snowing... yet!

The Canadian version does not have TPMS sensor, it has a passive system using the ABS to monitor the tire pressure. Therefore, you do not have to buy a TPMS sensor when you are ordering the Winter Rim/Tire package. Only the US version has TPMS system with sensor.

I have my winter tires installed today. Both highway drive and local drive are smooth. I was easy on them with all the all-season tires at the back. Here are some pictures...
