Default yes they will
I have the M3's are they work pretty well. The 3d's should be even better as the sipes close at speed (or something like that)

So what, should've gotten 14" then? I don't want bigger tires on the car.

Default Quattro with snows--should be fine up to about 6 inches of snow on the road.
Deeper than that, you bottom out and then your stuck.
