Eh, then they'd still be wrong. You want tires that are narrower, not taller.

My understanding is that you want narrower and taller. Narrower to cut through the snow and slush, and taller to give your wheels a little more protection (against potholes and curbs that you may not see as well in bad weather).

Got me there, doesn't help with traction which would be my main concern. Protecting a wheel is just a bonus.

for the OP, just get Dunlop wintersport 3D put on your wheels,
they are a great HP winter tire. they are not "mushy" if temps are up into the spring , and even summer season. if you have 8+ inches of unplowed snow, nothing will help you get home. |

I got a link from a local newspaper in quebec ( sorry it's in French) and they evaluate the 15 best snow tire for the region. Mostly cold, lot of black ice and ton of snow.
http://auto.lapresse.ca/conseils/201...hiver-2013.php They found the nokian Hakka 7 to be the best, followed by the x-ice 3 and the blizzak ws70. This is for winter 2013, article went online yesterday |

I just added him to my ignore list. Though in hindsight I do find him humorous so maybe down the road I'll take him off it. Ok, probably not.

Go to tirerack.com, enter your vehicle, pick each tire and look at the survey. There are ratings for different conditions.
If you plan on driving like a nut, you might want to look at performance winter tires. You only need studs if there is always snow on the road. They are dangerous on pavement and the **** it all up. I don't know if it was mentioned, but you can buy tires mounted on steel wheels so you can just swap them, and you don;t have to take them somewhere to get mounted. |

I have used the Michelin X-ice, Peirelli winter carving, Firestone winter force ( only liked for deep snow, not on ice ), and Bridgestone blizzak 3 different models of these. all good tires and great in the winter my next set will be which ever is cheapest of them except the winter forces. Too much ice around here. Or maybe some Nokian Hakkapilettas if the price is right
