Default Snow tires for my AWD F sport

So my factory all seasons are just about done so I'm going to scrap them for winter and go to a snow tire/winter wheel combo then put summers on the OE wheels come spring. Looking for advice on snows nd sizes, was thinking of the LM001s, what other options should i look at? Living in NJ I expect it to be 85/15 dry roads to rain/snow.

They recently was the thread "Winter is coming" in the RCF section, that had some hints.
Looks like Pirelli Sottozeros and Bridgestones Blizzak have some success by those users. But I must say that the RCF has a big wheel requirement for clearing the discs and calipers, that the regular RC maybe doesn't have. If possible, for winter tires, always try to go for a "good amount of fat" on the tire flange. For a regular RC, if 17inches wheels fit, they would be a great start.
