This is true only when driving on snow. When I lived in Chicago, I drove on actual snow less than 5% of the winter. The roads are usually dry, only wet or light slush coating. The stock width is best. If you live in the country and drive on snow covered roads, then go narrow. If you live in a urban place that uses salt, stick with the wider tire.
The rubber compound and sharp edges of the tread were more than fine for the few times I was actually driving on loose snow.
Just my 2 cents
