Greeetings!

I need to know what size tires are best suited for snow! I have a few good selections to choose from. My choices are from 185-195-60-R-15 and 185-195-65-R-15's. They are very good all season tires with excellent tread. On one of my other Volvo wagons (1 of 3 88-89 740 Gle's), The rears have 185-70-R-15's. All of these tires are also rated "A " temperature and traction. I was thinking that the 60's are progressing more towards a lower profile tire? What say you? I don't want to sit too low and I understand that a tire must not be too wide, whereas one will begin to plow snow, rather than tracking through it. The narrower the better. Thank you in Advance!!!


Best Regards
