No it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'd happily use them. Just asking

might borrow your studs then if thats ok. yeah your low profile 155s weren't a great success were they. Was dreadfully entertaining for an hour though. We looked proper hard to all the totty shooting by on sledges.

They're about as legal as nailing your own sister. Personally, if she was hot enough....

For winter and especially for snow driving I wouldn't advice/don't like std. 125 michelins at all. They don't grip in the snow at all. The threads fill up, but are to small to give the tyre grip.
I have good experiance with 135 All seasons from Maxxis, alternatively 155 Vredestein has shown to be really good on 4x4s and I think 135 Michelin M+S could be just as good too.

btw 155 is the widest you should fit on 4 inch wide rims according to ISO standards... doesn't you can't fit wider... ;)
