For the love of God, AGAIN!!!!! Stick with narrow sizes, they dig better, Fatter tires will tend to float.
Two 17in snows that I feel are the best: Bridgestone Blizzak ws-50, and Dunlop Graspic DS2's.[sm=closed.gif]

My thought was a pilot artic alpin 2, or dunlop m-2/3, in a 215/45/17 would give decent snow performance and still be okay in the dry.
Since I will be getting 17x7.5's or 18x7.5's and 224/45/17 3 season performance tires in the spring I figured I would use the stock wheels for snows now, and maintain looks and gain some traction in the process.

RE: Snow opinions?
I hear what your saying, but you will give up snow performance with the Michelins. Those are nice for like AWD vehicles, that can almost manage on summer rubber. I think you'd be surprised how good a Bridgestone would handle. You would need to run the pressures high for any spirited driving. You will have to adjust you cornering/throttle application tecnique somewhat. Stick with the stock size.

RE: Snow opinions?
Id say Blizzaks also. Never heard good things about Michelin's...I'm not too fond of them.
I have 225/40R18's All season's on my car. And surprisingly in 6-8" of snow I plow right through, stop perfectly fine, almost as if the snow isn't even there. I thought they'd be far worse than they are....I guess I just got lucky, or I'm used to being piled in with snow.
But Paul and chick are right, narrower the better. A 205 is the stock tire, your not compromising anything by staying with the same size tire the car came with. [:-]
