The size recommendation is only if you're running dedicated winter tires... Skinnies have more grip on ice, too, not just for cutting through the snow. Ground pressure is more effective for ice grip than a couple more tread blocks. Dry pavement is where the wider tires provide more grip. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk |

This is my Camaro in the snow... Under the car cover. Just finished shoveling around it... It is trapped in a corner, behind there are some cedar and in front is the garage... What a PITA to move to snow around haha.

I routinely leave mine in a work parking lot for a few days at a time. While I was gone it was freezing rain that changed over to snow this time. The parking lot has a gentle, not all that noticeable slope to it. To back out of the spot I was in though went against the slope. The car wouldn’t do it. Luckily, nobody was parked nose to nose with me. Going forward I got out with no problem. It was after midnight and 9 degrees. I didn’t need problems. From now on, I will make a point during the winter of parking only in spots where I do not end up forced to either back up or pull out going against the slope....may the slope be with me.

Going from a 525 wide tire to a 245 wide tire gave me more traction on pure ice, lol. Same reason some folks with unloaded dually's will run singles in the back... Better traction on ice. Same reason nobody runs 15.5 or 18 wide tires on their truck in the winter, unless they can't afford winter setups, lol. Same reason 11" wide semi tires turn better on ice than 385 wide semi tires... All with the same tread pattern, lol. But I'm also going off my personal experience and everyone I know, so it's probably a skewed view compared to your sources.

Have you tried braking on ice with skinny tires and no studs? If not, you are in for some fun. Tried turning across an intersection with lateral forces acting on your car? I'm not doubting you having driven through snow, but driving on ice constantly, I am. To a degree, on snow, you can increase traction by increasing weight and compressing the snow against a hard layer, assuming your tread compound is good for winter. We don't have the kind of weight over the axles in a rear-wheel-drive car to ever approach the starting-traction of something like a box-truck or even an SUV, but that's not where the greatest danger is, it's from sliding left or right and not being able to brake.
