IMHO, it would be best to go 15" or 16". For snow, you want to go narrow and tall. For example, if you have 205/50-16 as OEM, then you would want to go to down 10 in section width (205) for each increase of 5 in aspect ratio (50) in order to keep approximately same diameter tires. The attached link will allow you to check optional tire sizes against your OEM size.
