Winter Tire Strategy - Insight in Snow

I just put winter tires on yesterday and went with the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90. I went down a size on the touring to a 215 55R 16 from the regular 17 inch. I was going to buy them from Costco but found a better deal with my local tire store and they were offering a $50 rebate from Bridgestone which Costco wasn't. On a side note -I ordered the rims from Costco and when I was putting the winter tires onI noticed that the rims were made in China ( I guess just about everything is these days anyway) and the Bridgestone tires were made in Japan. I was also surprised that the Insight Touring alloy rims were also made in China. Who would have thought.
 
I went with the Bridgestone WS90 and also hubcentric rims. Got the rims from Costco and the tires at a local shop. I had them install the rims to the tires and balance them. I brought them home and installed them myself.
