Smaller tires are better in the snow. 18s are the smallest you can go and still clear the sport brakes.

More importantly narrower tires are better in snow due to the fact that they don't float as much as a wider tire.

Right - wider tires are described as being more like a plow in the snow.. you don't want that.

I also got a square set (all the same size tires/wheels) so they can be rotated when it comes time.

This and the compound are the most important. Don't be a dumba$$ and get 305's to look cool in the snow.
