225/45 19
or
225/50 18
even the 17's
225/55 17
with 225mm being the width of the tire that means these tires are essentially identical except the side walls are smaller on the 19's. Does that afford me any benefit in the snow at all?
The other reason I ask is because I found a set of aftermarket 19's I want to buy as winters for now but might switch to summers eventually...
thoughts?

Taller profile provides much better pot hole protection. Went with 17s.
