I am looking to buy a set of green diamond tires for my 1995 volvo 850 (I have had very good results with these on other cars for winter driving). Unfortunately, they do not have the OEM volvo size (195/60R15) in stock. The alternatives they offered are 205/55R15, 195/65R15, and 185/65R/15. What are your thoughts on the different sizes?

BTW, I see that Kumho ECSTA HP4 716s are pretty reasonably priced at tirerack.com. Has anyone here tried these in the winter. Are they good on snow and ice? I would prefer to buy one set of tires that I can use year round, but here in Minnesota I need to have something that can handle a little weather.

TIA
