Re: oops re right tire size! 850 1997

Nello,

One of the forum members (Terence) posted a message on the 13th describing his experiences with 205/55/16 snow tires - they were rubbing. Search for "Koni". Now, he's running with lowering springs so that might reduce the clearance. For snow I'd go with a narrow tire - the 205s will give you alot of flotation on snow, cutting your traction. I run 205/50/16 snow tires (without rubbing) but still notice some understeer in the snow on my 95 854 Turbo.
