I entered into this accidentally with my Dodge Caravan.
It came with 225/65R16 tires but my local Michelin dealers did not have winters in this size.
I opted for 215/70R16. Same rolling radius, but narrower.

Kind of an apples and oranges comparison, all-season Yokohama to winter Michelin,
but the narrower tire feels less secure, less stable on the road, and yet has very
slightly less rolling resistance (tested before and after change on a nearby hill).
