    if you are looking at goodyears, id look into the fortera tripletred, they are severe ice/snow rated, you can get them in a 265/60/18 and can run them all year 'round

    of course if you are getting winter only tires, step down in width too, maybe a 225 or 235.. that will help with snow traction by itself

    for snow and mud, a thinner tire will help push through snow, either to the road or to snow that is less powdery, and easier to get a grip on, this doesnt work with excessive amounts of snow.. but if you can push through to road or compacted snow, youll be better off




    in dry weather a wider tire will give you better traction
