If you are dealing with deep snow, constant ice and slush, narrower is better and added sidewall helps over bumps and potholes. If you live where snow is rare and the plowing excellent you can stick with larger sizes and 'performance ' winter tires.

Fixed that for you ;-)
But yes, if you are dealing with more cold than snow, you don't need the narrow snow tires, IE 235 to 255 section width.

I just bought haakapalitta 8 studded snow tires for mine, we have lots of snow and ice. Might b overkill as mine has been great with non studded winters. I like the safety aspect of having the absolute best possible tires and my family is my #1 priority, its the wife's car and I don't want it wrecked. Just my 2 bucks (inflation ).20 inch oem wheels.

If you have to deal with heavy snowfall then i highly recommend a narrow tire and a bigger sidewall. The standard Audi Q7 20" set up in more than 2" of snow is less than ideal. Especially when that snow is not plowed and it freezes. Then you begin to drive on ice like rock. Low profile sidewalls will get hurt.
