what tire size do you guys drive with in the winter?

Currently i got 21s for summers.
Im thinking about going down to 255/55/18 for winter...would that be ideal?
Or should I got a bit wider?

Winter Tires

I would think that going that small would totally ruin the look of the veh. I have 21's also...Im going to do staggered 20's. There is a very good selection of winter tires in that size

lol was told smaller the tires the more traction it has in deep snow and ice. Ended up going with 20 staggered as well...#yolo

I have a 20 inch staggered setup and a 18 inch square (255/55/18) setup and the 18 inch set up is the best. I know the 18 inch setup ruins the look, but when you head up the mountain to ski in a snow storm you want the most traction you can get. Blizzaks are the best tire for snow!

Go with 19s square 255. Put a fat spacer in the back, save money on tires and still flush with fender.
