[V8] annual snow tire post

[Coleman, David]

Hakka Q (snow/ice)
Hakka 2 (snow/ice)
Dunlop SP Winter M2/3 (decent for non-snowy conditions as well)

Delaware gets surges of crazy snow, but has a crack plowing system... I'll probably go with the H2's, since I get north sometimes, though the Dunlops are keeping my mind open.

My real question, however, relates to size -- I'm replacing 15" wheels with 16".  The 15s had 215 Dunlop Graspic snows and worked great, but not as impressive as the 4kq w/ Hakka 1s.

I'm considering 205 or 215 snows, and am wondering how much handling I'm giving up with the more narrow 205.  I know there's folks here who use that size year-round, but I probably am a bit more demanding, and wonder if the 205 snows will buckle under the occasional onramp blast.

Any insight would be great.

4  Dunlop Graspic Snows:  215/60-15, 50% good tread left,   $100
3  Continental CZ90 summer:   235/50-16, 80% good tread left,   $200
OR
Does anyone have a single CZ90 to sell?
