175 60 16 winter tyres on a F56 Cooper S

Anyone got a set of 175 60 16 winter tyres on a F56 Cooper S? They are an approved size but strike me as being somewhat narrow for a relatively powerful front wheel drive car. Not worried so much about the cornering grip but the ease of losing traction. I ask as can potentially get a deal to on a set but not going to do it if going to ruin the car.

Ended up getting a used set of 16" Victory spoke wheels and put 195 55 16 non run flat Continental Winter Contacts on them. Very happy with that set up and looks like may get a chance to test them in anger this week if the latest forecast is anything to go by. Certainly feel the difference compared with the 205 45 17s summer tyres in that the steering is a bit lighter, wheels easier to spin and less confidence inspiring through the corners but still good fun - I feel the 175s would have been a step too far though.

Got to test the car in whiteout conditions last Thursday and it didn't put a foot wrong, money well spent me thinks.
