Snow tires

[rbade12 at aol.com]

 I run the OE 215/60 15 size Hankook I-Pikes and I find it virtually impossible to have an issue with traction. I'm not saying a thinner tire isn't better, it absolutely is, I'm just saying that the OE size works well too. I wouldn't run an all season tire in that size in winter though.....or in summer for that matter.

hey adam, i agree with the thin tire, but i cannot find any thin tires short of 
rally tires, 205 is one of the thinest i saw in 16" rims.  if anyone knows of 
who makes thin tires please give a shout, thx to those who replied.

David-

I think you will find a 165 tire cuts a lot better in the snow (not to
mention a heck of a lot cheaper). I've run 195/60 snows on my 3B and I
greatly prefer the "cut" that the thinner 165 tire makes. Car turns better
and slides less. Now this was powdery fresh east coast snow, and packed ice
may be another story.

I would still debate that the thiner tire creates more force per area on a
medium which you want   compression.

My 2cents from Hawaii ;)
