Tire Reviews: Wide vs Narrow Winter Tires Tested
The conclusion? It doesn't matter as much as choosing the actual make/model.
I found this very interesting. I may use this as a basis for an article on my website - properly crediting Tyre Reviews, of course!
If I have a criticism, it's that part of what is supposed to make narrow tires better is the ability of narrow tires to push through the snow down to the pavement. Even a bit of pavement is soooo much better than snow for traction. But that would be extremely difficult to test. I mean how the heck do you set up a course where you can consistently ensure that the tire is penetrating the snow down to the pavement?
