[s-cars] Snow tire size debate - 15" vs 16"

[Jeff LaBombard]

I used to have 15's steelies with Hakkas and the last two winters have gone
back to 16's Avus.  

16 inch snows for such a heavy car like the S-Car have better all around
performance and they fill the wheel well better if that matters to you.  If
you hit an exit ramp too hard in the 15s in the dry the car will really
role.  The 15s just felt mushy, which all snows do, but more than the 16s

I did not find a huge difference in the snow performance between 15s and
16s, with the same studded Hakka.  

If this is a dedicated ski car to hit the mountain every weekend and you
don't care about all around performance, go with the 15s. 

16s for the occasional snow storm and better looking and all weather
handling.

Jeff

Gentz,

I find myself with too many options!

I have my old beat up steel 15" wheels I can use for my snows, OR
a set of 16" 5 spoke wheels which are uber nicer in appearance.

Trying to decide whether I should go with 15" or 16" snow tires, any
thoughts?


Regards
Chris
