[s-cars] Winter tires on 16x8 Fuchs - need some reassurance

[Tony Curran]

Dave,

I was just pointing out the info on Tirerack. Just so happens I have just
bought a set of Continental ContiWinter TS790 from Tirerack for $89 each -
size 215/55/16. Someone I know is about to sell me these very same wheels to
mount them on but I now know better thanks to Mike's timely post.

Tony:  IMHO, 8" is too wide for a snow tire anyway.  You are better off
running a 205/55/16 on a 7" or 7.5" wide wheel.  I run 215/55/16 Pirelli
Wintersport 210s on 7" wide A8 16" wheels and I think they're fine.

But others may have a different opinion.
