It's like wearing snow shoes on your feet. More surface area spreads out the weight distribution. More narrow tires are going to have more pressure to "bite" down on the surface with.

17" Advan A048 = Summer tires (dry only)
19" Toyo T1-Rs = dry and wet handling and performance
Neither is suitable for snow but bad is better than worse.
Toyo T1-R, if it was me.

OK should I just take 101 all the way up instead of the 5?
101 is slow and winding. It would easily add 5-6 hours to a 14 hour drive. You'll take 101 up the Oregon coast to Portland and then hop on I-5. San Fran to Seattle in 20 hours.
Once you commit to either path, stay on it until you reach Portland. This family tried the reverse of your drive and attempted to cross from I-5 to 101 mid-point thru Oregon.
