Do you
@DarrenM343 go for skinnier winters? We've always been recommended to drop the width a bit. e.g. my s4 standard width is 245 but I use 225s in my winters and a slightly higher profile. Helps with grip more.
I did. I just used the standard wheels so couldn;t go too narrow however. The summers were worn by November so I replaced them with winters to try them. I couldn't go too narrow due to the size of the wheels so went with 225x45 profile all round (stock sizes were 225 front, 255 rear). The rears looked only a tiny bit stretched. Couldn't go with a higher profile due to it being a sports car (potential rubbing issues).
Ideally I'd want narrower and smaller wheels and tyres on a modern (big wheeled car) to put winter tyres on. I use an old Yaris as a daily driver which only has 14" wheels and skinny tyres anyway so I'd just replace those with the same sized winters.
I did find them very good. While the rear end was still loose on winters(225 wide tyres and 340HP), I remember driving out of the office carpark when other people using the same carpark with front wheel drive hatchbacks were stuck. I then proceeded to drive it sideways up a slope, intentionally
. Z4 M Coupe had a good balance
