Narrowing snow tires can make things so much more stable, especially in variable/slush. I had great luck with 245/70/17 Blizzak DM-V1 on the 07*T4R*and they were ~stock diameter but the DM-V1 is no longer in production.
15T4R needs snows. Options are more limited... Need opinions and options on narrowing vs lowering:
245/75/17 Grabber Artic LT ~stock diameter but getting tall for the narrow... R speed studdable snows
245/70/17 Altimax Artic Q rated studdable (cheap) or Nokian Hakka 8 SUV studded (uber$) 1.1" smaller than stock
245/65/17 Blizzak DM-V2 S or Nokian Hakka R2SUV studdless snows but now 2.1" smaller than stock and the odo/spedo will read 6.6% higher/lower!
255/70/17 Blizzak DM-V2 S rated studdless snow only 0.5" smaller but 255 isn't much of a gain over 265.
What do you think?
