Default Beefiest tire set up for OEM?

Going to be throwing the winter wheels (stock) on here shortly and was wondering what the best/beefiest tire there is for the OEM wheels? I'm lowered on Stasis and my GTF is just under 25" fwiw. The more rubber the better (I'm in NE).

Let me know! Pics appreciated.

Check with Tire Rack but I think the tires most folks run for winter are the Dunlop 3D, and Blizzacks You can see what Gary says over in the Tire Forum: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2834344

Actually the less rubber the better when it comes to snow tires. The wider your tire the more snow it needs to move out of the way.

Monza is correct. Thin snow tires actually work the best for snow. Not only do they have to move less snow but the weight of the car is more focused on thinner tires.

I'm looking for some 235/40R19s. Seems like a good fitment for winter. I wanted the michelin pilot alpin 4s, but the entire US shipment went to fill backorders.
