you can go with 175/65R15 for better snow traction instead of 185/60R15. but i'd say they both work well.

Ground clearance may be slightly increased with the 14's. This is good considering my drop. Less lip plowing is preferred.

You actually sit a bit lower on 175/65R14, as the overall diameter is a bit smaller than 185/60R15. Personally, i went with 185/65R14.
