Should we stick with 235/45/17? Or go for a narrow one?

stock rims and tires. I did not have 1 single problem last year with the Advans in 10 degree weather. Some say they lose their grip, well mine never did.

Never said I'd drive it in the snow. But a very cold dry winter day...no problems at all for me. Even with snow tires, I would never drive it in the snow.

Thats a major reason I dont drive it in the snow. I NEVER WASH THE CAR!!! So it pretty much remains dirty as hell on the outside for 3 months.
