They are plus sizes. You sacrifice dry weather handling. But, you gain wet & snow handling + tread life + comfort + price. I really like them.

You went 20mm wider front, 30 in the back, and reduced the ratio to get them to roughly the same revs per mile.
I really like that cross-hatched tread pattern for snow -- and in Philly, you get a bit more than I do, 75 miles east This is a very viable choice, the #1 ranked UHPAS from tirerack.com. Treadwear 540-A-A, and price very good.
Hmm ... this has to go to the top of my short list, even though Contis weren't being considered before (for lack of a "dealer store"). If nothing else, I'd use this exact tire as a bludgeon to get price-matched other tires from an AD.
But if I did
exactly what you did, all my work's already been done for me. Excellent!
