My MP5 currently has 195/50R16 Toyo tires on it, I'm not sure if they are considered all season tires, but either way they are terrible in the snow. I'm looking for some winter tires, what are some user's opinions on studded vs. studless tires? I will be skiing a lot this season, which means driving mtn passes in all kinds of conditions. My mechanic says studded b/c they are the only thing that grips on ice. Other friends say studless and then carry chains as a back up. Also, I might have a sweet hook up on some studded tires, I think the tire size is 205/55R16. Will that fit?
Thanks.
By the way it's a 2002 MP5, sunlight silver, 5speed and I've only had it since March '08 and love it!
