So, the stock tire size is 205/55/16  what would be the ideal snow tire size for the car?  the guardex's I want only apparently come in either 195 width or 215.  I have a feeling 215 is a little wide.  Also, what about 15"?  can I do that??

Thanks for any help

BTW, John, the other thing to think about is how well the thinner tire may fit your rims. This may be a non-issue if you are getting steelies.

Thanks all for the input.  I have found 195/65/15 yokohama iceguard721's to put on some steelines.  I decided to buy yokohama because of their sponsorship of rallying in canada.

Hey Dave,  The tires are phenomenal!  I cant say enough good things about them.  They are really a great tire.  The only problem is that they are REALLY REALLY soft.  Obviously thats good for ice and cold temps but bad for wear.  That being said, I may experience more tire wear than your mom given the exuberent driving I have been known on occasion to do!  Give those tires a good look, I doubt many tires on the market can give you such great grip especially for the price.  I paid $99 per tire whichh I think was a steal.  

BTW, i noticed my old post said iceguard 721's  there is no such thing.  I got the IG 10's.  I had the Guardex F720's on my tercel and they were also a fantastic tire.
