I would recommend, if you have, or can find wheels narrow enough... Run 225 or 235s... The 245s are a tad too wide for the weight of the car, lol.

Wider tires is not the end of the world. You'll ride on the top of the snow/ice anyway.

No, but skinnies do give you better traction on ice, lol.

It really depends on application.

Narrower is better for soft snow, wide is actually better when it gets packed down as you have more sipes/edges. They are also better on ice for the same reason.

I also get performance snows as we don't get much actual snow, so if 95% of the time you'll be on cold dry pavement then narrow snows are way too much of a compromise.

More ground pressure is more grip on ice. That's why dually's suck balls, lol. Less ground pressure. My dually definitely had far less grip than my Camaro does, with equivalent tires.

I definitely agree on the area dependant thing, though... I get a lot of hard packed snow and ice, as well as deep snow, lol. If I was in a more temperate area, I'd have Michelin AS3+ on my car for the winter.

This would make sense if you were driving through a foot of two of snow with a VW van or something.

The car will become a snowplow long before you reach snow deep enough for this to make a difference. These cars are way under-tired with something like 225s.

We had a storm in November with a few inches of snow which became packed down. I have the Conti Extreme Contact DWS-06. Great tires. In the morning I put two 50lb bags of icemelt in the trunk. The snow was bad at night. I was doing better in S/I mode than some of the AWD and FWD cars on the road. There were a few slight inclines that I got stopped on and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. I shut off the TC, put it in 2nd (A8) and put my foot to the floor. I got moving and away I went. I was very surprised at how well it did.
