Winter Tire Questions
#26
I thought about doing that as that size is available in the Michelins, but I figured with the softer compound the rears will most likely wear faster, why not get all the same size, you can rotate them later. We are lucky if we even get snow where we are so the majority of driving on my snows are on dry or wet roads. If I lived in an area where there was a lot of snow, I'd look into the Nokian RSI and smaller, skinnier rims. As the guy at tirerack said, once you start looking at the premium brand snows, you begin to split hairs. Since these tires are going on the wide stock rims, they will behave more like all season tires (anyway) as opposed to a skinnier tire all around.
