Up here in the frozen North, I need some decent tires. I have 'new' tires, but they are Hercules something or other (205/60x15) and I dont think that slicks could be any worse in the 'frost' - not enough yet to call it 'snow.' Being cash poor, but safety conscious I have some ideas. I did search, but didn't find anything specific.
I have standard 98SE 15" alloy wheels. Sorry, don't know too much about the make and size etc. What is the narrowest tire I could put on this wheel. For bad weather, narrower tires might be better, but we dont have so much snow that I could invest in real snows. So, if I get say 195 size decent quality AW's, this might be a reasonable compromise for year round driving. (I don't drive particularly quickly anyways, and I prefer the softer ride of a slightly higher profile tires.)
What is the narrowest tire that I could put on those rims?
Opinions and suggestions anyone?
Cheers,
T
