I am currently running that combination for my winter wheel/tire setup. It is just the littlest bit more forgiving over road irregularities. The grip is definitely down from the stock 195/55R16 on dry pavement but much better in snow and slush. The grip is more than adequate for normal winter dry road conditions where the road conditions are more variable and traction more unknown.
