Default 1st World Problems

Hi guys,

So, I'm running 225/45 Bridgestone REO070's on my standard widetrack 17x8 wheels and we are heading towards winter... As I've researched, and as common sense suggests, I should probably change to more suitable tyres. My problem is that I don't want to buy two sets of tyres for the same wheels, as I wanted to upgrade them a little later and not this soon, but it'll be a waste of money buying tyres now and having to buy tyres for new wheels later on.. if that makes sense.

My two options are

- Buy a set of 18s and new tyres
- Stick to current wheels and buy new winter tyres and stick on a set of decent coilovers. I know coilovers aren't necessary but I don't like the look of standard tyres at the cars current height.. So I'd want to change this if I went with winter tyres.

Anyone got any suggests for good winter tyres?

What should I do

Cheers

Winter tyres, Conti 850's, ensure you get the performance version. Stick with the 17's as they are cheaper
