My wife hit a curb on ice while on all-seasons in her Cayenne and that was an expensive lesson.

Speaking of a second set of wheels, what's the smallest diameter wheels we can go with for winter rubber? I assume it's also fine to go with a square as opposed to staggered setup either for the winter set?
No argument from me that winter tires are the way to go, but have done 2 winters in my M with the Conti DWS. As you know, it could snow September to May (maybe a couple inches Saturday night right?) in our neck of the woods and i find AS tires to be the right match for this car.
