damn don’t you people watch TV:)

WIDER IS BETTER.

Old Pontiac Grand Prix commercial

with tires in the snow smaller is better. but you have to remember thats under a
200mm so go with the 195mm. since youll have a little more on the dry roads
i have the problem with 275s

no small aint better !!( if u have room)195 is taller!!the middle # is what u go by!!85,75,70,65,60,50, &40small # is wideru want a high #!!

tall & skinnee is what u want!!!tall kills power less chance to spin!!skinnee goes throw snow better!!

well, im gettin a set of winter rims/tires…the two sizes are

185 65 14 for $428 shipped
195 55 15 for $505 shipped

they are just steal rims with blizzak ws-50’s on them

i just cant decide if the size is worth the extra money

go with the 185/65 they will be taller & skinner!!
