Personally, I'll be running a snow tire this season from a little known
supplier.  They were loaned to me by some outfit called Pizzo-tron
Industries late Friday.  Near-new Pirelli WinterSport 225/50/16H on OE 16x8
Ronals.  NICE!  Anyone have any BTDT with these?

I'm running the same Pirelli's in a 205/55/16 on the OE Rims.  These were
fabulous last winter, and not nearly as "squishy" as some other winter tires
I've had.  Fantastic in snow and slush; good on ice.  Didn't wear as badly
on dry pavement either.  I suspect that our winter weather is similar, so
you should have good luck with them.

With dry pavement, I'd run the tire pressure a little higher too, around 40
psi.  If a blizzard showed up with deeper snow, I'd drop the tire pressure
to around 35-36 psi.  This made a big difference WRT grip.  Just don't
forget to put it back up once the roads are clear!
