what do you guys with wider tires on your festys run in the snow? or does the added contact area not mess with traction as much as i think that it will? anyways just curious i need to buy a couple of tires and was wondering if i should look for some thinner rim/tire options

Get some snow tires on front and you will be almost unstoppable!
I have 195/60/14 General HP Altimax tires on red car, (not snow tires) and it gets along pretty darn good in the snow. Better than the thin 12" tires on black car.Dan

I run these and love them.
Pass 4 wheel drives stuck last winter.
I just had them on the front I had a full set but now I have 2 fresh ones for the front this year.Comment

Based on my experience with both front and rear wheel drive vehicles I would highly recommend putting winters on all four wheels. The general rule of thumb promoted here is winter tires should go on when temperatures are consistently below 7ºC / 45ºF. I did try running with only two winter tires on one of my cars a long time ago but quickly went an got the other two put on. Here's a video I found recently that demonstrates the difference.
