^ Thanks for the explanation. My winters are a bit wider than my summers, but that's because I found the rims and tires on Kijiji for a good price. The big disadvantage to that set or tires, as you have eluded to, is that the rubber seems a little old and I don't get the same level of traction as I get on my other vehicle with newer tires. They're not overly worn, but they are a brand/style that hasn't been sold in quite some years, and I think that they were sitting in a garage for a while before I bought them. The difference in rubber compound is noticeable. Still better than summers or all seasons, but I'll be happy to change them over to a more modern, sticky tire after another season or two of winter driving.
