    What size 15" snows?

    195-60-15 (slightly shorter than specified) or 205/60-15 (slightly taller)?

    Rims are 15x7 et24 so I can't really drop below a 195 and it seems that nobody is currently offering a dedicated snow/ice tire in a 205/55-15?

    Thanks!!

      I have used both 185/65/15 and 195/60/15 on 15x7

      both worked fine.

        Generally speaking you want a skinnier tire on ice and a slightly wider tire if you're on snow--not sure how the weather is for you out there, so you'll have to decide.

            Thanks for the replys guys.

            The size and aspect rations are so close there won't be an appreciable different in snow/ice performance (I'm an old school ice racer...).

            What I was really asking was "will have have any clearance issues with the slightly larger 205/60-15's"?

            Thanks again!
