Exclamation Snow Tire Size

What size snow tires do you guys run if you use them? I can get a steal of a deal on some 195 60 16s and was wondering if any of you have had experience with tires this size.

Go for it, as long as you have wheels they fit and don't have Brembo brakes they should be good. Way better in the snow but way worse for handling in the dry.

195/60 is about a 1" taller than stock, so your cornering capability will be a little underwhelming at higher speeds. As long as you drive conservatively I wouldn't be overly concerned.

195/55R16 would be what we recommend.
