Hey there, I tried to search but didn't come up with much.. Anyway, its time for snow tires here in Canada and while shopping I noticed a nice set, but the 155/80/13s were almost 40% less than the 175/70s. I'm just wondering if I could use the smaller size tire on my 93 CX steelie?

Is there any disadvantages to going with the smaller tire? I'm pretty postive that skinnier is better in the snow, no?!

You can't squeeze a 155 onto your cx steelies .... a size like that is for a Geo Metro.

 

155/80-13.... wow, that's like 3" wide tires? lol

 

i think my spare is bigger

 

Have you tried searching on http://www.tires-easy.ca? I just did a quick search and they seem to have decent pricing and quite a selection of snow tires.

 

Lol 155/80/13 sounds so horrid. Get something decent like a 195/60/13
