Firestone winterforce tires
I bought a set of firestone winterforce tires from tire rack last winter. I didn't get them studded. Really good set of winter tires in the snow. I am thinking i want the next set to be studded.
I checked tire rack, and it seems they are no longer available in the size.
Other tires that are available in the two sizes (205/50r16 and 195/55r16) are "studless".
The firestone come in a different size i wonder if they will fit? 205/55r16

FYI. I recollect reading a test indicating that studded tires sometimes do better and sometimes do worse than non-studded tires depending on road conditions. Also, you might want to check whether they are legal in your state. BTW, a set of Firestone Winterforce winter tires once saved my ---
in rural Wisconsin in heavy snow. Excellent tires!

You may want to purchase one and test fit it with the help of a good tire shop. 205/55 is a common size.
You may be able to pay a shop to test fit any of the 205/55R16's they have there. This would prevent you from having to pay return shipping if it doesn't fit.
