They'll have a totally different weight distribution and it depends on how it operates (rwd vs fwd awd).Take my Mazda(fwd) vs my mustang (rwd), the Mazda has the engine in the front and is driven by the front wheels. Since the engine weighs the most, the majority of the weight is on the front wheels, the wheels that drive and steer the car. The mustang on the other hand has the engine in the front and is driven by the rear. The rear of the mustang has very little weight, so not much weight is on the wheels driving the car.So if i put the same tires on the mazda and the mustang, the Mazda would do much better.But having  weight on the driving wheels does not always make it better.... If you have a rear engine rwd car, it may be difficult to lose traction, but once it does lose traction there's no saving it because you don't have much steering ability. The rear of the car will slide out and momentum will carry the rear.Yes, put winter tires on the smaller wheels. Just winter tires in general will help.</blockquote>
