I have been running Gislaved 215-55-16's on my 2K lpt for several years in Massachusetts with no problems whatsoever. I received a set of 205-55-16 Gislaveds from a good friend and put them on my daughters NG 900. I stored the tires side by side this last summer and was surprised at how close they are in width. Four 215's stacked on top of eachother were not more than a half inch taller than the 205's. Theoretically the narower tire would be better in deep snow but if the difference in width is that small I think it would be very difficult to tell the difference.
