I couldn't find this in search, and wanted to share a glimpse of my soon-to be set-up!

Early 2000s (Can't find precisely) Mini Cooper alloys.

Winter Wheels?
In my neck of the woods...we have hot, hotter and rain. Sometimes all in the same day.

195/55R16 is quite big of a tire size on a yaris.

Especially for snow tires. I have 195s on 15" rims that I purchased used and once they are due for replacement I will definitely go down to 175s.

Lol, I'm in North Florida and we do get chilled for about a month, maybe depending on your definition of chilled.....

They were a decent deal, what are potential downsides?

The extra width means a larger traction area, which means that you will be apt to sit on top of snow, rather than digging through it. The serious filling of the wheel wells means that it will be easier to have the snow get really packed in. If that occurs in the front, you can do some damage when turning the wheel with packed snow in there.

Oh come on February in Florida is cold, and it has snowed in Daytona Beach before.

no. It gets below freezing at night sometimes from december to early march, but when the sun comes out it is usually at least in the 60's.

Thank you..

In the USA, I'd say if you are not within New England, you probably don't need winter tires.

Betrivent · 10-04-2014, 11:16 AM

Maybe Washington would, and Oregon

My winter rims and rubber. Stock 2011 rs 15" rims on toyo observe G-02 plus tires.

MoneyT8 · 10-05-2014, 10:31 PM

So do you have guys have to keep paying to mount/unmount and install your tires every winter? Doesn't that get pretty expensive? I live in Cali so I only use one set of all season tires and I'm good to go.
