The real solution here is we are all people familiar enough with our cars to be tinkering in the first place. I'm confident all of us should be able to acknowledge when a modification creates unsafe driving conditions and would immediately revert it. It's all about consistently and faithfully testing everything we do, or rather sometimes, abstain from doing).

As someone else said, the biggest danger here is hydroplaning on slush right now, and that can be reduced by having a smaller contact area on your tire. But really, any over inflation significant enough to cause a marked decrease in area contacting the surface on a modern tire is most likely going to burst it.
