^ I got these in 17"(ASX) they're nice in the rain, but I have yet to test in the snow... Nor do I think I'll try.

tested KUMHO ASX in 265/35/18 ultra low profile size on my bmw 540 yesterday during the storm on street & empty parking lot, these are simply amazing in snow/freezing rain. narrower 225/50/16 will be even better

you would need 245 in the back.
the stock 225 is really a 245

Yes, but for winter driving all of us are running 225/50/16 to have the tires a bit "narrower" in the rear than stock. I don't know of a single person with winter tires running 245.

It's better for snow driving.
