Seeing that it's Oct 1 and winter tire laws are in effect,

I'm contemplating a dedicated winter tire set up or all weathers (WRG4) on the E46. It's rwd and no LSD. I got around decently on old WRG3s about two winters ago, but it wasn't great. Had Chinese M+S last year and that was an absolute nightmare. I already have a dedicated summer performance tire set up, it would be great to get both all weather and winters so I don't kill the treadwear on either summers or winters, but space is scarce.

Also trying to figure out which all weather is the best for a 2015 Civic. Being fwd, I got around with just Primacy MXM4s last year - even in Surrey. My 16 y/o brother has the Civic now, so I want him to be safe so it has to be snowflake rated, but not necessarily dedicated winters. I don't want to run two sets of wheels for the Civic too.

TIA
