My snow tires and rims finally arrived. What a tremendous improvement.
Pics below.
We still have snow cover here in Ct after Sundays storm and more snow is expected tomorrow !!!
The rims are 16" x 7" Rage Vigor and the tires are
205/55/16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 . I went with the narrower 205's to get more traction. The overall diameter still matches the OEM which is 25" plus or minus.
BTW the tires are directional.
After installation I went for a drive and the set up feels great.
I never did like the feel of the run flat tires they always seemed to want to go anywhere but straight
ahead.
I'm glad I went with regular tires on my 18" summer rims !!!!
