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.
