Winter tires on 18" wheels?

I am new to the whole tire setup thing. I am ordering the 18" with the performance tires but I live in the Philly area. Do they make winter tires for 18" or is that not recommended? If so does that mean I have to buy 17" + winter tires?

It's been awhile since this was discussed, and buried inside this forum is the following thread: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2969

It's a good place to start.

Hi, I live in Canada and drive on 18" winter tires. I use Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D. 225/40-18. My MazdaSpeed3 has quite a bit of power to spin front wheels at will. These tires are more than adequate for winter driving.

Here is the link to some info

My Altima SE-R has 18's and I have snow tires on it right now. Short and only answer... Yes.

I have the Dunlop Wintersport M3 and I love them. My x girlfriend had a Subaru STi with Blizzaks and I was not as impressed as I am with the Dunlops.
