A heavier car can handle wider tires in the snow, but I had 205's on a Colt Turbo and it was UNDRIVEABLE in the snow (Of course they were Yoko A008R's). The wider the tire, the less traction you have. I drive a Metro with pizzacutters for work and drive circles around everybody in the snow. Do not try to find a upgrade tire/wheel that will work all-season. Buy the wheels/tires for summer only (wide, NOT M+S) and use your stock wheels for winter. I know it sucks 'cause usually there isn't snow on the road every day, but it's like a new car every year again in spring when you swap back!
