This ^
Easy going on and off throttle. No quick actions and all will be fine. Not the best but still fine.

I mean this is a given lol

Haha fair enough. Just get winter tires. Always pay attention to the Only thing making contact with the road.

The amount of power you have is largely irrelevant; if you're using any of it, you're driving wrong

Thats true.

Question:
what size winters should i put on my back up 17x7's? 205's? 205/45's? 215's?

One of my all-time favorites.

With 17x7, I would go with 215/45 but 205/50 (1.8% larger in diameter, more options) and 205/45 (1.4% smaller, few options) would be fine as well. I have 16x7 wheels and 205/55 tires for winter.

This car does great in stock size, stock rims with winters. Get a snow/slush biased tire if that’s what you see most (eg Altimax Arctic, Blizzaks) or ice biased (Michelin xIce) based on your typical conditions.

I’ve run the Altima’s Arctic the past four winters and have been very pleased in all conditions, but you know they are a winter tire when you have the occasional warm day during the winter. I got these because I knew they chew through snow and slush very well, better than the ice biased tires with tighter tread patterns, and that was what I needed to make sure the car could do. At this point, with a new, different career and 3 mile commute, I would probably replace with a performance winter tire instead. But I also have a second vehicle (AWD with Blizzaks) and live on the bus line that would drop me two blocks from my office.

I went with 205/50/17's for winters so I could put a few more pounds per square inch down, I mean really the car is only 2800 pounds so focusing it better can't hurt in slippery conditions. It does make it a little more slidey on dry or cold salty pavement but that's kinda fun ;) I went with the Conti EC Winter whatevers and they were good until they weren't but should have had another season left in them IMO. I'm going with the Altimax Arctic next time around to save a few bucks but will probably go back to 215/45 because they have a mushy sidewall so less of it should be better.
