Oh yea. If you live in SoCal, AZ, FL or any other climate where it's doesn't snow you don't need to answer the question because you lucky birds don't need to worry about snow, ice or freezing temps.

Default If you want all-seasons with superior snow traction, Nokian WR comes in 225/40-18.

People say they are overall very similar to Dunlop Winter Sport M2/M3, which is a high-performance winter tire. (I have the M2 235/45-17)

Default Matt, what's your recommendation in our area...should I risk it with 19s? I have the same tires :D

On the other hand, I am a tad bit worried about the wear and tear on the polished lip portion.
