What size Hakka 1s on 4kq?

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

This year I'm banking on a real winter, or at least one with snow unlike
last year. So I'm getting set to buy some real snow tires (Nokian Hakka 1
studded).

I will go and find snow if it's not nearby!

I know narrower is better for pure snow conditions, but I think that with
studded Nokians, snow will not be a problem anyways, especially with
quattro!

There will be some significant highway driving this winter, so I'm wondering
if a bit more dry stability is worth going a bit wider.

My two choices are 185/65-14 or 175/70-14, or I suppose I could even stick
with 195/60-14.

Does anyone have experience with these setups on Hakka 1s, preferably
studded?

Cheers,
