winter tire tread width for 97 EL
I have a 97 1.6 EL and the stock (and my current) tire size is P195/55R15.
Would there be any problem with going P165/75R14 for winter tires?
The overall diameter for stock is 595 mm, and these are 603 mm. It is a 3.4% difference. Unless proven otherwise, i don't think diameter is an issue.
The potential issue i can see is tread width. In the summer i am running 195mm, is there going to be an issue in the winter will only running 165mm?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
