I went the winter with 15" Pirelli 210 Asimetrico's and the car handled great in 4-6" drifts. No matter which snow/ice tire you go with I would suggest you minus-size down to 15/60's so you have a narrower tire which cuts through the deep snow easier. It also preserves your factory rims from the beating that the winter salt and sand will give them. Since 90% of my winter driving is actually on dry pavement, I went with a non-ice tire that has a higher speed rating. Choose what's appropriate for your particulare road/weather conditions.
