The 225 will out penetrate a 235 in slush ruts, most snow conditions, refreeze ruts, mud, etc.

I'm a Nokian fan - have Hakka R2s on all my cars. More expensive but they last much longer. The set on my 2003 Jetta have 9 seasons (50k+) on em and they still show 4-6/32. I have 235/50R18 on my Mustang. Keep in mind though that you have to play with the pressures a little during the winter, especially if you do plenty of highway driving (like I do traveling out West to go skiing).

You think 2 sets of wheels or alot? I have 7 and counting (for three cars).

lol, never used winter tires. Used stock pirellis past two winters. If it snows i can work from home. No real reason to buy winter tires in NJ. Roads are clear next day. Just mounted MPSS, rears on pirellis lasted ~19k, probably could have gotten another 1k out of them.

Yep, I was gonna buy winters for the first time in my life this year. I'm glad I didn't.
