Have always figured that the accident risk is several times higher under adverse weather in that vein I set up my car for worst case. Dry handling is a no brainer, slip angles are only a fraction of bad weather.
I always try and pick tires that have a tread no wider than the wheel rim width. Going bigger means that I will have a tire tread that is bowed a lot more and is subject to uneven wear particularly at higher pressures.
Wide tires make for slippery handling in the wet and snow. Wide has to clear a lot more material in front of tire so that it can come in contact with the road.
