Hi Steve,
I am a metro Bosotn/Cape Cod commuter and I have used Nokian NRW's Michelin Arctic Alpins, and Pirelli P210's. I am very pleased with the Nokians and have used the 225/45-17's on BMW's Audi TT's and the Aero. They provide acceptable winter performance on cold dry/wet roads and good snow preformance when needed. I did not go to a 16" combo - even though that would have provided better snow traction - because our city is more about slush than - say Green Bay WI where I grew up. The Vredesteins are a current boutique favorite with the automotive press (Automobile and Car & Driver and Roundel). I have no experience with them but they are well respected - although the Dutch are not noted for high performance automobilia (probably just my ignorance) - Vermeer was a helluva painter though! By the bye - is your current tire store Direct Tire? They are awesome as a local provider.
Good luck
Eric
