I have an '08 Sport and the std tire size is 195/55/15. I am looking to get winter tires for the stock wheels. The alternate tire size is 185/60/15 on Tirerack.com. Will these alternate set be narrower than the oem size?
Also, at the moment the car is not lowered but in the near future it will be, approxiamtely 1.5" lower. Will the alternate size still be good when the car is lowered?

 

great questions! the sizes listed for winter will still keep the same general OD , so problems should not arise, but it is always hard to tell with modifications with lowering. how far of a drop were you taking?

as far as the width, the tire will be 10 mm narrower

 

I will have some Progress Springs installed soon. I believe the drop is 1.5" F & 1.3" R.

 

I am looking for Pirellii Winter 210 Sottozero... maybe 205/40R17... PM me if you have those.. would like to buy them and ship to point roberts =\

 

I am looking for a set of winter tires and steel wheels for my 2007 Honda Fit Sport. Can someone quote me a package deal? Thanks.

 

ans1,

We do not have a steel wheel available for the car. I do have alloy wheels that work fine. The package in 14" would be about 596.00 with the Blizzaks.
If I can help let me know.

 

Guinness,

The only winter tire I have is the Blizzak WS60 in the 205/40R17 at 115.00 each.
If I can help let me know.

I have a set of 14" Miata wheels. I believe they're 100X4 bolt pattern with a 45 offset, but I'm not sure of the hub diameter. I'm thinking of using them for snows. I have two questions. First, will the wheels fit, and second, what about using 14" snows on the car

Mark

 

The Miata hub is smaller than the Fit so they will not go on.

 

Thanks Jim.

I have a question about wheel tire packages at TireRack. If I purhcase a package if mounting included in the price?

Mark

 

The mounting and balance and all hardware is included in the price. If I can help with anything let me know.

 

I put these on my OEM aluminum rims in the OEM size of 195/55R15 on my ’07 Sport Fit http://www.nokiantires.com/tyre?id=11880&group=1.01&name=Nokian%20Hakkapeliit ta

And I am VERY pleased with the performance of these tires!

I got them from here http://www.tiresbyweb.com/tbw_tiresearchadv2.aspx?treadwidth=195&profile=55& rimsize=15&Winter=1&Pageindex=1&choice2=NOKIAN%20T IRES

I have the Bridgestone Blizzak WS 60's on my Accord, and the snow and ice performance has been excellent on these tires. They are a bit soft in the sidewalls however, and the road feel can be sorta squishy. I notice the TireRack also recommends the Michelin X-ice Xi2's and the Pirelli 190 SnowControl's.
How do they compare to the Blizzaks in snow and ice grip, handling and ride.
