there really is no or not much of a reason to get a smaller tire width for winter. the contact patch is determined by the weight of the car, not the tire one gets. You use a 125 width tire, the tire will contact the same amount front to back and just looks squished. At a certain point this is exaggerated, like if you got 305 tires, then youd have a lot of extra stuff contacting snow. But going from 215 to 205 is very small amount but will reduce the engineered and tested design of the car. I can see however that it is a cheaper tire and that is great x4. But that is it. A proper snow or for me, performance winter, is more important than the narrower part. Dont you people drive on dry roads like 50% of the winter once it thaws out?
