This is about the same diameter as the 215/55 x 16 summer tires. We have 195s on our 9-5 Linear wagon and they do a good job. Our tires are Dunlop WinterSport M3 tires on steelies. They're OK, but when they're done I'll go to Nokian WRs. I have WRs on my '96 9K and think they are a better all around winter tire. We're in southern NH and get a mix of deep snow, hardpack, ice and slop, too. We just get to dry roads a bit sooner than you do in Ontario
Narrower is better with snow tires, but you need to balance dry road performance with the amount you drive in snow. I find the Nokians are a good choice for this.
