Hi I'm shopping for winter tires for my badland and since it's a family car that me and my girlfriend drives with 2 kids in the back we want really good winter tires. I like the Bridgestone blizzak dm-v2 and they make them in 215/70r17. It's common to hear that narrower tires is better in ice and snow. (But not on dry asphalt) But 215 is it too narrow? Narrower contact patch might help with fuel mileage too. I searched the forum and nobody talk about that size. 215/70 is 28.9 in diameter and 8,7 in width. They also make 235/70 Wich are wider and have a bigger diameter. I know most of the time ground clearance isn't an issue but sometime it is a plus. I live in northern Canada and we have a lot of snow. I also work on a 24/24h on call schedule so I have to respond under 5 minutes to arrive to work and being able to bulldozer my way trough snow is a plus.
