You don't want "bigger", as in lower aspect ratio/wider, you want
taller and more narrow, as in 60 or even, 65 series.

What size tire, exactly, are on your D's car now? That would be
a good clue.

Edit: I just re-read your first post with tire size on car: I would still
go for that size but in a 60 series tire. They should fit fine and be
real snow biters, vs the 50 series. The speedo may be off a touch,
but no biggie. GL, mD

Will the 55's snow work, the size will result in almost no false reading in the speedo.


If I go with 55's the price difference between performance snow and normal snow is less that ten dollars per tire does that mean I should go performance?
