I went with staggered Michelin PA4s one of the most sporty choices for a winter tire. Performance is just unbelievable even compared to the SuperSports. Here is what it looks like on Enkei's

I imagine you get very little actual snow in Maryland (ignoring the last winter for a moment) and it may be more important to have a tire that can deal with cold and wet road conditions. The smaller width of the tires will reduce grip 99.9% of your winter driving and if you want much more performance in the winter month I recommend a more aggressive choice. The PA4s which I had on my Acura TL before are pricey but soo worth it!!! If you live in Michigan you don't have that option for sure

BTW, there are lots of posts in the wheel/tire subforum for more feedback.
