Default Keep the 16's for winter Matt. Or at the most get some OEM 17's and use those.

IMHO 18's are to wide for winter. If NJ gets nailed by a nor'easter you'll wish you had narrow width 16's to help carve through the snow. Yes you can do it with 18's but it is not the best solution.

Default You didn't, it is $$$$$$$$$$

I run Pirelli Snowsports on my 18" USP wheels and they cost a grip, about $900 for the set

Default I run Pirelli Snowsports on my 18's, great tires just pricey but you gotta pay to play...

Used them all winter, very good in snow and on dry, they hold their tread very well but I am going to switch to All Seasons this year and see if there is a big difference
