What one do you guys recomend or do you have different tires to recamend? Keep in mind I live on the west coast of b.c canada so weather here is really wet and cold in winters. What size should I get, right now the back is 245/50/16 and front is 225/50/16, but they are old worn out tires.

The 329's seem to be better suited for inclimate weather. Do you get snow? Talk to the shop and find out what optimum temp is for tracktion of each tire, and make a choice based on your needs. Better yet, get two sets of rims, and put a set on each

^ Sure, with winter the tires. Keep a summer/performance tire on the Pony's (or verse visa) and switch out when needed.
