u should stick to ur stock tire size...if ur car came with 190.60.15 then stick with it or u can downsize to 185.65.15

195/60 or 205/55 or 205/60. 195/60 gives the least % off from stock size.

edit: didnt notice it was for snow/winter..... 185

Snow tires?
The thinnest ones you can.
175, 185, something like that.

I am using 185/65's for my winter tires. They work excellent.

Why are skinnier tires better for snow?

Cuz you its easier for skinner tires to cut throught it.

Why is it easier to cut a piece of rope with a knife than a basball bat. Wider tires will actually "float" on the snow and will yield you no traction.

Also, with skinner tires, there is more weight distributed in a smaller spot.
