I have 185 (Gislaved) snow tires. In the winter, narrow is better because the tire digs down into the snow. With a wider tire, the tire "floats" on the snow leading to less traction. Snow tires are certainly better than all season and summer tires which I run also (Nokian 205/50) would not even get around in the snow.
Better to find some 185's, spend a little more and do it right. If you rotate tires out every winter, it's not that expensive. I am on my fifth winter with the same tires and they're in great shape.
Another thing that helps winter traction is increasing unsprung weight. This is accomplished by purchasing steel wheels. Steel wheels also protect your alloys from salt, sand, and road hazards covered by snow. I bought mine brand new from TireRack for $35 each. Not a misprint.
