Bridgestone blizzak LM-60 225/45 R18 all-around on black Motegi racing MR120 wheels (plus TPMs) - totalling just under $2000, +shipping/taxes.
Would've liked to go down to 17's, but felt that was cutting it too close with the brakes. Wheels may have "racing" in their name, but really came down to price, $700/4 and preference, they look like snowflakes.
Went with the non-RF blizzaks because performance in snow is top priority (we can literally get multiple-inches of snow an hour) - will purchase a 12v compressor kit for the trunk as a "backup"...probably a waste of money (never get used, if it does...won't be helpful), but at least makes me feel better.
Good choice.. I went with the LM-60's as well on a square setup of M5 replicas.
