Winter tire options, anyone go narrower than 195?
accidentally put this in classifieds, please delete it there mods 
Since a snow tire is best when it's fairly narrow, i'm wondering if anyone has gone to a thinner tire than 195, likea 185-65 R15. I just picked up some steelies in 15x6 (thanks again zyg!), and the tires are 195/55 ContiSport CV90s, which don't seem to be All Season (they have an icon with a Sunshine and a cloud under it, but no M+S designation that i can find. However, they are 260 treadwear, not the 200 listed on the site, perhaps they've changed the lineup?). Whatever the case, i'll probably run these in the colder months with chains when necessiary (nice thing about steelies), but i'm curious if anyone has gone rally-style and run a very narrower than stock tire
