I say good choice.
You are looking at a height difference of +0.37", which is pretty close and won't screw up your speedometer much. And a width difference of -0.39". Me? I may even go a little narrower.

I guess it depends where you live regarding the studs. They are most beneficial on ice. They're good, but not as effective in snow as you may expect.

Regardless, there is no substitute for dedicated winter tires IMO. "All season" tires are a joke in winters that see months of sub-zero (C) weather.
