Replacing oem 175 65 R15
Replacing oem 175 65 R15
Must replace my Conti Pro Contact 175 65 R15's with 33,000 miles on them. (Should have been replaced them 32,000 miles ago).
Any suggestions for an all-season tire that will see Wisconsin snow are appreciated.
Can I, should I, consider a slightly larger tire: 185 65 15, 185 60 15 or 195 60 15? Unfortunately, different rims are not an option.
Tired of my tires,
Wisconsin Johnson

175/65/15 is 23.96" diameter
185/65/15 is a bit taller at 24.47" but not too tall
185/60/15 is a little shorter than stock at 23.74"
195/60/15 is a little taller than stock at 24.21"
Any of the above will work on stock 15" rims.
I have 195/60/15 winter tires on 7-holie 15x5.5 rims
and 205/50/15 summer tires on 16x7 aftermarket rims.

They did fine for all the snow we got in NH last winter.

A MINI thanks for your responses. I'm trying to locateYokohama Avid ENVigor 195 60 15's and give them a try. Had put the brand on our CRV before a bambi took a $12,000 nose dive into us. The kayak tow straps saved our lives.
The Avid ENVigors were a serious upgrade to Honda's OEM's. I'm hoping the same for the MINI. Again, thanx.
