Re: winter tires 850 1995

Steve, winter tires in that size cost an arm and a leg. It would be cheaper to get a narrower, taller tire mounted on a steel rim (for the same amount of money you could probably get them mounted on alloys). The recomended winter size for your car is 185/65/15. The narrower, taller profile works better in the snow, but you lose dry performance. You might want to try something in between.

Koz.
