            Generally you want a thinner tire in winter.

              yep. so the tire will sort of sink into the snow and get better grip rather then be wide and just float over the snow

                185/75 is the stock size for the 14" wheel. It's probably also the best size for a winter tire.

                195's aren't going to be right for a 14" tire, nor will it be beneficial in the snow. The only way I'd go thinner than a 185 is if you did a 175/85-13 on 13" wheels, but I think you'd have a hell of a time trying to find 13" steel wheels with a bolt pattern of 4x114.3. I know my mom's Escort had 175/85-13's stock.

                  Thats good advice. I know when I first got my summer tires I also bought a set of winter steelies and made the mistake of thinking wider is better. WRONG. That may be true for summer driving but its the exact oppisite in the winter. Later

                    SO what do i get 195's or 185's for winter ?

                    I guess 185 are thinner and better for snow? Can i use 155's ?

                      Probably 185's would be your best bet. Dont want to go too thin. I would think it would be best to stick as close as possible to the manufacturers suggested tire size. Later

                            Please learn about the tire numbers.
