I currently have the stock Pirelli P-Zero Nero's that came on my base model GT, and last winter I was not all that impressed with driving in snow. They seem to do fairly well in the rain though, and carve through deep puddles well on the highway at 60mph. My car is a DD, so I need something good for the winters more than for the track.
Well, now I have my new 19x10 SVE R350's sitting in the box, ready to go I will be getting new tires hear in the next month or so. I'm basically down to 2 choices. Both are good, but I wonder which will maximize my winter snow traction, yet also best for rain and potential hydroplaning. I live in the Seattle area, so getting caught in this garbage always seems to happen to me.
I keep reading that a wider tire will hydroplane easier and not dig into the snow as well, just because of the larger footprint with less pressure per square inch. So, I'm wondering what the best option is here.

- 285/35-19 Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06
The 265's are an interesting idea, since no others really come in that size. However, I have no idea what they will look like with a slight stretch on the 19x10 R350 rim, which seems to actually measure more like a 19x11 for some reason.
Any thoughts on this?
