[V8] Winter Tire Size?

[Kneale Brownson]

You're going to switch tires on the rims?  I'd use the old wheels for
snows.  You want a skinnier profile for better slippery traction, I think.
I run 215X60's on my 200q20v in the summer and put 195X65's on for winter
driving.  Works better in slush and heavy snow.  I plan on doing the same
with the V8s as soon as the all-season tires that came on 'em are gone.
