Default Re: WHAT I HEARD ABOUT SNOW TIRES

Actually, the reason you put skinny winter tires on is that it affects the shape and size of your tires' contact patch with the road. You are putting the weight over a smaller surface area, which helps with your traction on ice and snow, and the shape of the contact patch becomes narrower and longer than with wider summer tires. This helps with your acceleration and braking.
