I ordered the Michelin Alpin PA2. 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 10 anthrite color rims. I'm excited. There is something about driving on snow that brings another element in joy of driving.
I just did put 18" rims with PA2 this morning - it is amazing how smoother ride is on those tires compared to 19" PS2.
Grip is not nearly same, 'sharpness' in turns is also very subdued, but I drove my wife to lunch today and she did not complain a single time about 'that bumpy ride you made it be'.

I really double question now my original decision to go with 19" rims. May it would be wiser to get another 18" set.
