I guess I may as well run the winters all winter after-all. I sure wouldn't want the wife to drive the X in heavy rain with those wide summers on there.
Been there with the 275 & 315 wide summer tires
Happens also when there is a lot of slush with the winter tires I have.
Would be safer to use 235/60-18 size.
Next time I need to replace winter tires, I probably buy those.
