Winter and Tire management
 

Hey guys! It's been a while since I last posted but I recently got some free time and got back to maintaining my car.

Question for today is, would it be better to go bigger or smaller for my winter tires? I understand that it should be narrower but not entirely sure about the size.

Little background, I currently have allseasons on 18s which I had to sand all the way down to the bare metal because of salt damage and I'd like to avoid doing that again. The spray painting was a good project though. Was wondering if I should buy 19s for my winters or get 19s for my all seasons then get winters on 18s.

Also, as much as I would love a winter beater, it's just not in the budget right now. Though having to de-rust all the exposed metal took me a while, just can't afford another car atm.
