Default winter tires

I am going to be buying some winter tires for me S... i have a set of AP1 wheels for it, so i should run 205/55/16 all the way around correct? I plan on buying blizzaks for it, or does it hurt to go with General Articmax with studs?

thanks for the help

It won't hurt the car to ru the Altimax but they are not quite as good in the ice and snow. They are still going to be a lot better than even an all season tire though. The 205/55R16 all the way around for winter conditions is going to work fine. The narrower tire is going to give you a lot better grip and it will cut through the snow easier.
If I can help let me know.
