Yes, skinny tires cut through snow better. If you must drive in serious snow, it is best to compromise on handling and get skinny snows. Also best to get soft, heavily lugged ones that give jiggly handling and have a low speed rating.
If you do have another car you could drive or can wait until the plows have been out, you can use a stock or near stock size snow that is in the performance category with a higher speed rating.
I am in NH and have snow wheels for all my cars, but disliked the 265/40/19 snows on the M5 so much last winter (my first with this car) that I bought a set of PS AS4 in stock size and put them on the stock 20” wheels to try this winter. If they don’t work well enough for my needs, I will put the 19” snow wheels on and think about changing the 265 snows to 275s.
