Yes, I am looking through the tire section as well and using search, but someone else already started the thread!
18s are not a necessity for winter. 19s are just fine (and look better IMO!). Depends on your road quality in the winter months. There are lots of winter tire options in both 18 and 19" fitments. I think most people use either stock widths (245/265), or slightly narrower (235/255). FWIW, I run 235/35/19 and 255/35/19 Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds in a milder winter climate.

I think most people would agree that Blizzak LM60s are the tire of choice for heavier snow regions. Happy drifting!
