Tall, narrow tires are the way to go on hardpack and ice

OK, but given the choice, would those skinny snows
perform better runnning flush with the body, or tucked in closer?
Or maybe even wider than the standard wheelbase? (i.e. on rims with no offset, or a lot?) Just curious..........is wider better?
(not the tire width...the "stance") Does this make sense to
anyone? I'm having a hard time posing the question....

Don't think it makes a wit of difference except for appearance. I would want it wide enough to not look like a car from the 60's (skinny tires and body 2 feet wider than axle width). Wider will always handle better (less likely to roll over) but I doubt it would matter much on an SVX. As far as pure traction goes, it matters none at all. Contact patch is contact patch.
