Staggered setup for Winter
For my W209, I plan to buy winter tires to replace the stock 16" all-season tires. Because the wheels are staggered (16x7.0, 16x8.0), I have no choice but to keep the same tires sizes (F:205-55-16, R:225-50-16).
What do you think? Should I change the tire sizes? Will bigger rear tires (225...) cause problems in snow/ice?
Note: I like to keep the stock wheels for winter use because I plan to upgrade to larger tires/wheels next summer.
