The type of tire and depth and pattern of the tread on the tires matter far more than the width of the tire. My sedan with high quality 'skinny' winter tires will easily cruise on past an SUV with wide summer tires going up a snowy hill.
- giantg2 3y agoThis is also true for noise - tread design and compound are much bigger factors for noise than section width. Also, what you describe is not necessarily in conflict with the parent. Skinny tires are good in the snow because there's less plowing effect and more pressure to grip into the snow. However, more width is generally better on icy roads.
