[s-cars] Snows

[Fred Munro]

Hi John;

With snow tires, the narrower the tire, the better the snow performance. On
17" wheels you'll probably want the 205/50-17 tires. The 7.5 inch rim width
is probably the maximum allowable width for most 205 size snows. The wide
rims will give you a stiffer ride and less sidewall roll during cornering
than a narrower rim.

OK, now that I know they will fit, can I make decent snow tires with these
rims (17x7.5)?  Any suggestions on tires?  Or would the setup be too wide to
make good snows.

Thanks.
