Stock size, 215/45
Sounds obvious, but the colder it is, the better they are. We had 2 weeks of wet weather in the low 40s/high 30s and they really struggled for grip, almost laughably so. Wet roads + 40 degrees and you can drift like a pro. A good set of all seasons handles that kind of weather a lot better.
Once highs dipped down into the 20s (and even lower), the Blizzaks came into form. Much more confident feeling. Dry or wet, they're solid in the cold.
Braking on snow and ice is GREAT and the car is incredibly easy to control even when the roads are bad.
