245/45/18 winters or 225/50/18 All Seasons for winter??
I need your help in making this decision.
I run 19" stock tires for summer. I am looking to get good winter tires in stock 18" size. I am from Northern Virginia region and we do not get a lot of snow here. So, I was thinking of getting a set of winter performance tires. But there are not too many options in 225/50/18 size. I was also considering getting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s as we do not see a lot of snow.
I found a good deal on a set of lightly used Dunlop Winter Sport M3s(9-10/32s tread left) in 245/45/18s. There is a good deal on new Michelin A/S3 also, though they are more expensive than a used set of Dunlop winters.
Should I go with used set of winters or brand new All Seasons?
Appreciate your help.

Can I install 245s on stock 18" wheels? ( My car is G37xS, not sure if the wheels are 18X8 or 18X7.5).
I am getting Dunlops for half the price of Michelin A/S 3s. I am more inclined towards getting Dunlops, was not sure on the fitting.

All seasons, for the most part, just don't cut it in the snow. They really meet the minimum performance needed, but there is a HUGE difference between the typical all season vs. winter tire in snowy/icy conditions.
