In the winter, my most critical concern is traction. It's not like I'll be enjoying the car to the full potential on ANY winter tires so I figured I would suck it up and get a tire that would give me the utmost traction on the worst winter days.
It also depends on where you live and what kind of winters you have. Where I live, our winters can be very brutal and I don't ever want to be put in a position where I have to debate on whether I can drive out or not because of how much snow or ice there is outside.
I will be mounting the tires on my stock OEM style 261M wheels. Size all around will be 225/40/18.

kinda wanted 245's or 255's in the back though like my current set up. 225/40/18 is general is easy to find but not so sure about the 215 and 245 set up. Which is so hard to find...
