Run a search, there are tons of discussions on this.
Basically, do not even pretend to think you can drive in the snow if you have the performance tires!!!! I can't stress this enough.
With a good pair of winter tires (I recommend a dedicated set of wheels as well), you should have no problem getting around.

I live in St. Louis, made it through last winter and the light snow fine with Avon M/S 550 all season tires in stock size on 18" wheels. The guys are right, handles like any other rear wheel drive in snow, have to be very careful, and VDC on. No big snows here yet in the past years, but I would not take it out in anything over a couple of inches unless an absolute emergency need. Bigger concern is moron's sliding into me...!

I am considering doing the same for my G. I live in NJ and have a 6MT Coupe that I use as a daily driver.
I am considering getting the Blizzak LM-25 from TireRack ($153 per)
I am also thinking about getting a set of 17 inch Privat Gassan Grey wheels ($143). The stock 19's that I have on the G now cannot stay on for the winter. I am afraid they will get wrecked. Plus, it is pretty hard to find winter tires to fit 19 inch rims. There are plenty of choices for 17 inch rims thogh.
Does anybody have any other suggestions for rims? I don't know anything about the Privats.
Also, will I have any trouble mounting them on the Coupe given that I have the 6MT?
