    IX Tire Size Question

    No-one seems to make a decent winter tire in the stock 205/55/15 size. From playing around with the tire size calculator it seems like 195/60/15 is the closet to the proper rolling diameter.

    However I have a set of barely used nokian hakkapeliitta's in 205/60/15 from the audi that I am replacing with my new IX. The tire size calculator recommends staying within 3% of the original rolling diameter and this size is 3.29%.

    My question then is am I okay to run this size? I can't see rubbing issues with such a small increase in size, but is there anything else that would be a concern? Anything to worry about with the all wheel drive system or am I okay as long all 4 are the same size?

    I run snows in that size and all is good except at full lock they rub the plastic fender liner in the front of the wheel well. All wheel drive is fine if all are the same size. Speedometer will read a bit slower though.
