        Hi Ross

        I do run my RS2 with that size after years on 225 45 17.
        205/50 are far better on snow the narrower the better IMHO

          In the end, I simply put a set of Nokian GR2 in 225/45 onto a spare set of RS2 alloys.
          Not had much ice or snow in Hertfordshire but even so, they feel much softer and gripper than the summer Eagle F1's!
