While it is true that smaller wheels with taller tires work well in deep snow they are awful on bare pavement. Also, taller tires don't brake as well on ice as wider lower profile tires.
Aerospace 303 is a very good product for lubricating rubber seals.

Again, I disagree. I'm not attacking your choice of tire. I have tried many brands of winter tires, and keep coming back to the Bridgestones. Yes many others are better on dry pavement, and yes they wear quickly, but for ultimate traction in snow/slush, I have not found better. It's just personal preference. I'll gladly give up some handling to get the traction I need.
303 does work good.
