Thank you @humfrz @phrosty @WWFT86. Great advise guys. The battery tender and fuel stabilizer would certainly help. I will do some research about battery tender.

About the tires, being a physics student my self, i can't wrap my head around that narrower tire providing better traction. But you guys have more experience and I will take your word on it. Plus it is only an inch difference and saves $$. Blizzaks are the synonym for winter tires I guess. $1200 for 4 blizzaks WS80 205/55/R16 and steelies? Does that sound about right?
@phrosty The car windows was working for now and the auto up and down just takes some getting used to. It reminded me of the 1990's corollas where you had to hold it down for a second to work.

I guess hearing from you guys, it seems a pretty good reliable car as well. I did get a Manual Transmission FRS, so looking forward to driving it and having fun with snow tires on it.
