If you find a tire that is good at performance in the summer and goes in the snow call the tire companies because you will be rich. You are best off with a dedicated set of each or suffer with no seasons. A goof performance summer tire will likely be brittle in the winter and a good performance winter tire will burn up in warm weather. You drive something like a DR in the winter you are taking your life in your own hands, my 555R's never had an issue although I did very little low temp driving, but I know of several that have chunked and one that even came completely apart. Having said that my 2 choices

Summer/Rain
Nitto NT-05

Winter/Snow
Dunlop Wintersport M3's

I dont think dunlop makes them in a 245/16

will 255/45 or 255/50 fit on my 8.5" stock rims?

[c4boom]

depends on the brand check under the specs on tire rack

Honestly mine were on the car in the winter, parked in the driveway stuck in 2" of ice and they are still going strong. I keep them indoors now though.
