Just reading the URL of that link made me sigh 
Someone I spoke to through a client of mine works with the met office and once told me that if anyone offers to tell you the forecast beyond 5 days then they're a liar. However, he reckons they're probably right this year :lol: better get used to walking

If you have the 17s you won't get any that fit.

I stand corrected.
Has anyone tried them? I always assume large wheels with low profile tyres are generally poor in snowy conditions.
well, i drive with 205/45/17 on my DAILY car (not the RS) but they are vredestein wintrac xtreme.
last year i drove with 185/65/15 Conti TS830 to check the difference. I went back to 17s, i just think vredestein is really great in snow and wet conditions.
so yes, i think the 17s from vredestein perform very well in the winter, even though they are bigger and need to push more snow away than a 15...
