Eight,

I've found the Virgos are pretty soft wheels and easily dented and damaged. Also salty winter slush can be hard on alloy wheel finishes. I keep my snows mounted on steel wheels for all my Bricks and only use the alloys (including the Virgos) in the spring-fall. On my 944T/745T I run 195/65/15 snows, on the 240s 185/70/14 work well for me. I've run BS Blizzak and Yokohama Guardians as snow tires. The Yokos are IMO the best buy of the two and perform as well, if not better than the more expensive Bridgestones. My $.02
