Finally someone who agrees with my philosophy of using narrower tires in the winter!

Oh yes, skinny tires in the snow are the only way to go.

World Rally Championship (WRC) rally cars all use skinny knobby tires when they race on the snow and ice in Sweden. It's amazing too see race cars with such skinny tires thrashing through snow and ice covered dirt roads in the thick of the forest. Just breath taking.
