~el~jefe~: myth? I found similar weighting MR2 gripping better then mine. Very same tires, but MR2 had 195, i had 205. "Aquaplaning" may happen not just on water, but also on snow slush. And just as with water aquaplaning, the narrower tire is, the higher pressure per area in contact patch and less water/snow to push through at same car weight and at same car speed. BTW, generic "myth" of going down at least one size seems to be shared about any winter tire sites/articles/etc. They ALL had been wrong for many years?
