don't listen to steve, he drives a mustang. just ask him who told him to get wintersport m3's

really though, you will be surprised at how well RWD can do in snow. IMO RWD with snow tires>awd with all seasons for snow driving.

if you really want a staggered wheel and tire setup then your only choice is

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60

I'd stick with 225/245.

narrower is better in snow. don't make me dig up the aim logs where you agreed with me that i should run a square setup for winter
