Skinny vs. wide tires WINTER DRIVING

[KLAB]

Whats your opinion? Seems to me on here once in a while the comparison of RWD vs. FWD snow driving cars comes up once in a while. Heres a different topis I often think about. Obv wider tires are better on dry pavement, more surface area = more wheel contact = more grip to the street = less spin. But for winter driving like in slush and packed snow (as most roads are as of right now) my belief is that skinnier tires are better since they dig and cut through better. I think you get a much better bite where wider tires are more prone to spin, even with the wider surface area and more contact I think it makes it spin easier. I have fairly skinny tires on the brown truck and on my saturn and can feel the dig. But I'm my moms expo with wide fat tires and my gf's wide saturn tires I think they spin a little easier but still grab pretty good.... What are your opinions?
