145/80R13 snow tires

I just bought some 145/80R13 vredestein snowtrack 3 snow tires and installed them today.
Stock size for the civic vx is 165/70R13 and these are about as close to the same revs per mile as you'll find, from my research the vredestein snowtrack 3 have great ratings including a "5 star" fuel economy rating on as review site that had thousands of ratings from all over the world.

They are as narrow of a tire as will work with stock alloy rims, and the sidewalls are about as wide as the outer edge, they look different.

We don't have snow yet, but my rout to work has steep hills and doesn't always get plowed for a day or two, so it's nice not getting stuck half way there, I've pushed snow with my bumper the last two miles a number times the past.

They are a little lighter then my Michelin Defender's (green x) and steering also feels lighter, they roll nice, are very quite and have very aggressive looking tread.
