What's everyone running for winter tires?

[tooloon]

I'm taking delivery of a 2015 Genesis Tech next week. I was thinking of running 225/50/18 Blizzak / X-Ice or Hankook W409's on the OEM wheels. I have a summer set up. What are others running for winter tires?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Where are you located? I'm in Baltimore, and I got the AWD with allseason Hankooks. This will be fine for me.

Will pick up a set of 245/45-18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3 (mounted on Touren TR60 Gunmetal wheels)... later today.

Michelin PILOT ALPIN PA4 : 245/45R18 all the way around. Live in the NYC area and travel further north pretty frequently. Last winter was no problem at all.

Others have said that the factory tires are very good also given the good AWD system and I would have probably let one season go by to see how they handled. But the wifey always wants winter tires on cars no matter what - what the wifey wants, the wifey gets.

LOL. I'm in York Region as well. Hwy 7 and Yonge area.

Steelies are a no go for the V8's for sure. Won't clear the brake calipers.
