Cantire is having a crazy deal on tires, and I need new ones for the trail of the gnu rally. My tercel stock came with 155/80/13s (I think), but well, 155/80s are (even thoe not by much at all (5mm)) a taller sidewall ... For ice/snow is a 155 studded or a 175 studded better? anyone have some pros/cons?

i could very well be wrong but i thought for ice/snow thinner is better to kinda slice through....so 155 i would guess

that is completely right, however theres also the question of sidewall strength and rigid-ness to worry about for gravel roads :(
