Just saw your post: as we were saying earlier in the thread, this is only a problem making turns at low speed, such as pulling out from side streets into traffic.
Since you mention tire size, I was just about to order studded Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires which are 35 mm wide. Now I'm hesitating because I figure the knobs on these will make them higher = yet more overlap. This is a drag.
