Roger,
I guess what I meant by shoe-horning was trying to stay with that same size only. The 205/55/16 severly limits your choices, whereas the 205/60/16 gives you more and cheaper (read H rated) choices. If you compare tires sizes on the spec sheets, you'll notice that some tires have a bigger diameter difference, tho being the same 205/60/16 size. The Yok Avids I ran were .8 taller than the Dunlop 8000s I ran (205/60 Yoks vs 205/55 Duns).
Honestly...no fooling...for winter you just don't need a Z rated 55/50 series tire unless you live in a warm climate.
