well im set for the winter but the civic needs snow tires. on stock wheels its 205/55/16 thinking about going with a little thinner and taller tire. (205/60/16) think there would be a problem with running these? Plus their $10 cheaper ---

A 205/60-16 is the same width as a 205/55-16, it’s just taller. I’d recommend Blizzak’s. I bought some off of onyx\_rock and they were well worth it, awesome tires. ---

ya we’re probably going with firestone winterforce. I run those on the peon and most of my buddies run them too. cheap and their pretty decent. I’ve got a discount at firestone and I think i paid around 40.XX for them on the neon. I can get them for $67 on tirerack but I think Im gonna see how much I can get them for at firestone. and ya your right, same width, just a tad bit taller blizzaks are overrated. who the hell needs H rated snow tires for lol ---

Already got mine and mounted. I really like the Dunlop Winter Sport M3. Sidewall doesn’t feel too squishy in the dry. ---

Nah I ran them down to about the wear bars into like May haha. Found a set of brand new LS Sport wheels with RS-As for 200 and sold the old set with Blizzak’s for $375. GEAH! ---
