Tires for the next SNOW??



I know its mid-july, but I'm saving for the perfect snow tire/wheel combo for this next snowy season here in
CT.  Last winter was my first Q winter and it was scary but FUN.  I bought the car with 95% used Dunlops
D60-A2s and didn't know much of them??  So I bought a set of Perelli P-600m/s (195/60-14s) which work GREAT in
rain and dry roads, ok in the deep stuff.  It seemed that when takeing off or going thru turns at times the Q
felt more RWD then AWD (Still e'm confused about that switch in the center 1 or 2 or off??)??

So this winter I thought of buying some steel wheels and going with a little skiny tire with more tread in it
for the snow, while keeping the drivable in the non-snow days? Or em I being too worried or is this not normal
for a Q, As in past post I've only driven FWD VW's with 185-60-13's which seems to be great in the snow!!

So what are others doing for snow season with thier Q's?  Any brands,sizes,where to buy!!??

Thanks As Always
