Winter tire size(s) for 437M

Got myself an extra set of 19” 437M wheels for winter. Should I go with the original M2 Comp tire sizes for winter or slightly wider like the M3/4 have?? Thanks

Original. For winter you want them more narrow anyway so they can dig into snow more. I run OEM size winters on factory rims and they work very well.

It really depends on your driving conditions. If you drive mainly in the cold and mostly dry/damp, wider is better. If you drive mainly on unpaved deep snow, narrow would be better. If you drive on wet slushy highways, narrow would be better. If you drive slower in cities wet slushy, wider would be better.

Good to know. Will go with narrow setup. Thanks
