quick tire size question...

[Obelix]

I got a deal for 4 winter tires (Pirelli winter 190) they are used but in good condition... 120$ for all 4 but they are 215/65/R15 My camry has 205/65/R15 tires on... Is it OK you think ? 205 or 215 ? Is it going to be ok to drive them ?

Thanks

"Narrower is better" for snow tires.

For a winter tire you don't want a wider tire. 205's would be better if you could get them.

yea but i got a deal 120$ balanced and installed I am asking if they are ok to use.. sure i can get better or the original size...

[Obelix]

nobody ??? 205 vs 215 is it a dramatic change ????

[Cyorke]

use them. That much of an increase in width is not going to do anything major. The speedo may be off by jsut a little because as the tire gets wider the sidewal gets taller also. But you are only going to have them on for the winter months so I say use them. You already know the obvious that the narrower the tire the better for snow ansd all that but in your case use what you have.

and for 120 balanced and installed, even if they are used, as long as they last one winter season, you got your money's worth

see i thot 215 were narrower than 205....

I do agree that for snow narrower is better...

ANd thats a pretty good deal.
