You people are all retarded snow tires are big so that you can go OVER the snow not plow through the shit, if you have 3 feet of snow your not gonna cut down through it and ice u just can't cut through so the wider your tires the better the grip.. I'd like to see tires cut through packed snow or black ice. And for stopping imagine that, stopping with bicycle tires on black ice... right:dead:

[body]Other than that the cardinal rule for tires is that skinnier is better, about 2 sizes narrower than standard [/body]

[body]In winter-conditon rallys, the Focus rides on tall, narrow tires to bite through snow and get what grip it can on the frozen ground.[/body]

[body]Skinny tires work better in the snow
because you have more weight per unit area of contact patch with the
ground. This factor better enables the tread to push through the snow
(assuming a reasonable tread for snow) and actually reach the pavement
underneath. Wider tires will tend to snowplane above the pavement. If
you'll be driving a lot in snow get a set of narrower rims and skinner
tires with slightly higher profile.
