In the size 225/45/18, the PA4 is not available. So that makes the decision a little easier.
If you are set on the PA4, you could use size 245/40/18 as an alternative size. Although the narrower 225/45/18 would be best for winter traction.
Personally, if I was in your situation, I would go with the 225/45/18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3.
Please let me know if I can help further.

Thank you so much for you suggestion, Keith!!
