in need of winter tires and i need some advice =)

found some deals on winter tires in CL vancouver for my 09 fit, and wondering on some sizes that i can run..

-i have a set of 07 fit sport rims 15 inch.. and i dont know the specs havnt looked at them and they're buried in my little garage..

-should i get a new set of steelies with winters? if so, what size of tires should i be seeking with my 09 fit without wrecking the speedo reading..
--> if im going this route, i know for a fact that 14s work, i was running 14s in my gd3 (r.i.p. along with my winter tires), i also forgot what the tire sizes were.. should i get 14s or 15s.. can ppl list the sizes i would be able to run...


can someone point me into the cheapest and most correct way of searching for winter tires when buying off CL?

thank you!

ps- would 205/70R15 work for my 07 fit rims without any problems?

These links should help you out (note there's some good threads in the shoes section of the main forum)

For steelies, it's up to you. The sport has alloy wheels and the salt starts to really affect the finish after 3 years or so (canadiandriver forum).

Good luck
