I'm running 215/45R17 Vredestein Wintrec Pro (pretty comparable to the Sottozero 3s) on the stock 7" wide wheels in Ohio. The mild winters here, specifically the fairly rare snowfall (under 4" of accumulation a handful of times a year and good salting/plowing), made me prefer dry/wet traction to outright snow performance.
For heavier/more frequent snow fall I think narrower tires would probably be better due to the light weight of the Twins.
