225/45/17 winters?
i read the FAQ for the 2002 Maxima SE 17" stock 17 X 7 info and it said that the : 225/45/17 are okay to run on the stock rims..
My question is whether or not it is a good idea to get this size as winter tires or is it better to get the regular : 225/50r17 or try and find something wider?
also if the tread is rated : 9/32 how many more seasons of tread does it have left?
thanks

A wide, low profile or large tire has to "plow" a wide path through snow which causes more resistance. The narrower the tire, the easier you can get through snow.
