because i wanted dunlop wintersports and they didn't come in 225/50/18, so i got the 245/45/18 all around.

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

if i wanted the bridgestones i would have got a staggered setup.

Ah that's right, they didn't make them in that size so we chose square.

To quote Celine Dion, it's all coming back to me now.

But I bet the Blizzaks have the right sizing...
