So whats the purpose? Just curious... Why not wider do the thinner tires bite more?

Skinnier tires distribute the weight of the vehicle across a smaller patch - putting more pressure on the ground per square inch giving better traction in the slippery stuff.

Id go with some bling 90/45/20 personally, even in the snow you gotta have some bling. Nice and thin for traction because of distribution of something or other () and still got the bling factor.

If you live in the snow zones, it is truly better to use your old wheels for winter performance tires, but noting that the 16x6.5 wheels do not clear the four piston caliper option. We recommend sport snow tires such as Michelin Pilot Alpin ,the Dunlop Winter M2 Sport or the excellent Bridgestone LM-22 in a 205/55-16. The stock Bridgestone M+S tires do not cut it on snow. Those of you who see lots of snow should go straight to the Nokian Hakapelitta 1 and possibly a 195/60-15 to clear chains if you cannot use studs. Noisy and studable, they are the best snow tires made. The "ice' grip type snow tires just do not last on dry pavement and do not really work that well on ice. Give me steel on ice any day. My advice is to just carry chains, if you cannot use studs. We try to avoid M+S tires for year round use, as they just do not show the chassis on dry or wet roads the way a good high performance tire will.
