I decided on winter performance tires. I went with the Pirelli Sottozero Series II because Tire Rack had a good clearance offer.

The Pirellis will be mounted on a set of BBS R90 rims that will be dedicated to winter. I think it's going to look pretty good. Now I just need to find the time to get them mounted. It's getting cold around here.

Had 5in snow today, took the 12 Justa with Nokian D3s out for a ride. Quite impressed so far. Seem as good as the Dunlop winter sports I had previously. Only drove maybe 4 miles, some roads not plowed, most had been at some point already. Did almost but not quite as well as my WRX with Nokian WRG3s as the traction control would kick in a lot. Will see how well it fares over the winter.
