I was just forced to take mine out of hibernation earlier than I wanted today, as my daily driver Mini has come down with several serious issues. I went with a square winter tire setup on the staggered wheels as well:

Michelin X-ICE XI3 in 225/40-18.

Getting the tires mounted tomorrow, but brought the BMW home today (very slowly and deliberately on the Michelin PSS summer tires in 15 degree (F) weather). Also ordered WeatherTech floor liners.

Uggh. First time it's been driven in winter, and I hate doing it, but life goes on even when the Mini's life is possibly coming to an end.
