Snow tires sizes?
in need of some snow tires soon
i currently hear the General Altimax Artic are the best for snow/Ice.
i currently have 225/45/17 up front and 245/40//17 in the rear on my monoblocks.
general makes the 225/45/17 but for the rear they only have a 245/65/17.
Will the 245/65/17 fit in the rears?
they also make a 235/45/17... any help would be great thanks

And it's better to have all 4 snow tires the same size (if they will fit on the car). Wider tires in the rear means that they will still be plowing snow behind the front tires, whereas if the tires are the same size, the front tires plow the path and the rear tires just follow on the same path (straight line, of course!).
