Question Winter tire recommendations?

Hi all - I am looking for some recommendations on a set of winter rubber that would look nice and perform well with my C43 Coupe. Is there such a thing as low profile winter tires? I am thinking of going with this 18 inch wheel from RWC (below) as I think it will match the car nicely. The tire store is recommending a Michelin X-Ice ($264) or Bridgestone ($249), but also has Artic Claw ($145), Kumho ($209) and Pirelli ($316).

Should I get a staggered winter set up for any reason or just go the same size all around? Thanks!

Definitely go with a square set of tires for winter. Bridgestone Blizzaks and the Michelin X-Ice are easily the best winter tire choices if you want quality.

I ended up going with the Michelin X-Ice Snows and the black rim i posted above.

I had the X-Ice 3's on my Acura TL and really liked them. Apparently the Snow is the newer version. Was able to get it for $246 a tire instead of $264.

Check out Vredestein Wintrac Pro.. handling is amazing for a winter tire, low profile too. Very confident feel on snow and ice as well.

I ended up getting Michelin’s. They’ve been really good. Cannot wait to put the summers back though
