I have Continental Extreme DWS as my "winter" setup. They are all-season, but they do the job extremely well - drove on them the whole winter, with a few skiing trips up to the mountains and all - NOT A PROBLEM! Absolutely and highly recommend

I am getting Nitto NT-05 tires for my summers. But. 1. I've never actually tried them. And 2. These tires are what some people would call "semi-slicks" - they have minimal tread pattern for maximum adhesion in dry weather, and their sidewalls' stiffness rivals that of the RFT's. I am okay with this, so that is why I'm getting them. If you want something more civilized, go with the Hankook V12's, or Michelin PS2's, if you don't mind paying the extra dough

Go 19's and et 40 should be fine 35 would be better but you can always add spacers.
