195/65/15 or 205/60/15 or 215/60/15 winter tires on 1.8TQ?
I was going to hold out for a set of 16's for the winter, but decided to just get new snows for my stock 15s.
I'm looking at Dunlop Graspic DS-2's in 205/60/15 ($61 ea) or 215/60/15 ($66 ea) from tire rack or Pirelli Winter Carving in 205/60/15 ($72 ea). I think either one is close enough to stock diameter, but I'd like them to perform decent in the dry as well as in snow/ice.
Suggestions welcome, keep in mind I'm liking the sub-$75 tire idea.

195/65 was stock with 205/60 as a "plus 0" option so stick with either will get you
a beeter price. Depending upon your snow conditions the 195/65 setup will be better for traction and wheel protection from potholes.

I just got Conti Viking Stop 5000 205/65-15 HR for my n/s Avant V6 tip., $56 shipped.
HR, directional means my mom can use them for summer smokers after I am done. HR also helps support my heavy car that normally takes a 16. 65s roll right the F over icy *** curbs.<ul><li><a href="http://www.discounttiredirect.com/">http://www.discounttiredirect.com/</a</li></ul>
