I've got to make the same decision but I've got 3 months. Here is what I'm deciding:
Stock is staggered 19's with performance tires.
Option 1: Keep the 19s for summer tires and buy 18's or non staggered 19s with winter tires.
Option 2: Find winter tires that fit the staggered 19s and upgrade to 20s and max performance summer tires.

Option 1 would be less $$$ and not wasting the current tires. But I want the 333M wheels.
Option 2 could be done in parts, 19 in. winter tires late November and 20's next spring.

unless you shoot up to Boone often i don't see your issue so much.

you might want to try some all-seasons.

I will likely be heading to WV in the winter several times to visit family. Plus Charlotte had several snows last winter. I was just lucky the occurred on Friday and melted by Monday.
