Skinny tires are not a good choice for snow unless you like to dig down in the stuff instead of riding over it. Same applies to mud and it took diffing my Willys down to the axles a couple time to fully appreciate the error in my choice of tire.
Montereyman- I think we can assume that the OP is driving on a snow covered road, and is looking to cut thru the snow to the asphalt or dirt. Not drive a set of 44s aired down to 3 lbs on a trip to the North Pole, so skinny tires would be a good choice.
That size must eat up expensive Canadian gas/diesel.Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's are great tires in the snow.
You don't really need super skinny tires to be great in the snow though. I'm running 37x13.5x17 Toyo MT's that are ~14.6 inches wide all year round. That's like a 375/65/17. They do just fine in deep Canadian snow.
I have a set of studded 255/85/16's for sale if you are interested. I'll let them go cheap. Link:
