Best snow tire size?

[Todd Phenneger]

I second what Greg says.  If the vehicle is a 5k/100 body car
and you see a lot of snow then go for somethign like the Hakka Q
or 2 in 195/65-15.  They are a little soft in cornering but
still livable, yet have much more bite than the 205/60-15's do. 
However, if you rarely see snow and are running something like
the Hakka NRW or Pirelli Snow tire then I'd go for a 205/60-15
as you'll get much better dry performance yet still be
reasonably safe in the snow and ice.  
  I've run both sizes on a 5ktq but for a dedicated snow
climate, Definately go for the narower 195's.
