Anybody every consider this for the winter in the city? Are 19" in teh snow retarded?

I beleive I will be going with the oem 18's w/ dumlop sport m3's, but I saw a cheap set of the 19's on Ebay and saw that Lm'25's come in both 225/40/19 and 245/40/19, even though wach tire is like $240! Seems tempting?
