I would recommend, if you have, or can find wheels narrow enough... Run 225 or 235s... The 245s are a tad too wide for the weight of the car, lol.

Wider tires is not the end of the world. You'll ride on the top of the snow/ice anyway.

Narrower is better for soft snow, wide is actually better when it gets packed down as you have more sipes/edges. They are also better on ice for the same reason. I also get performance snows as we don't get much actual snow, so if 95% of the time you'll be on cold dry pavement then narrow snows are way too much of a compromise. |

I definitely agree on the area dependant thing, though... I get a lot of hard packed snow and ice, as well as deep snow, lol. If I was in a more temperate area, I'd have Michelin AS3+ on my car for the winter. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk |

The car will become a snowplow long before you reach snow deep enough for this to make a difference. These cars are way under-tired with something like 225s.

We had a storm in November with a few inches of snow which became packed down. I have the Conti Extreme Contact DWS-06. Great tires. In the morning I put two 50lb bags of icemelt in the trunk. The snow was bad at night. I was doing better in S/I mode than some of the AWD and FWD cars on the road. There were a few slight inclines that I got stopped on and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. I shut off the TC, put it in 2nd (A8) and put my foot to the floor. I got moving and away I went. I was very surprised at how well it did.
