Winter is coming. what do you suggest?

Ok well i need some winter tires... i have 15 inch rims in my garage that im going to use as my winter rims.

What is the best tire size to use on 15 inch rims for a 92 civic hatch??



ive read 195/50/15 or 195/55/15 but if im correct the stock size for an eg is 195/70/13 so wouldn't the proper conversion to a 15 inch rim be 195/60/15?

im only asking because if i can fit a 60 size tire i would think that is better since it has a bit more meat to it for the winter roads... no??

what do you guys think?

stock is 175/70R13 or 185/60R14 or 195/50R15

either of those 3 sizes will be fine for your car since u have the small brakes anyways...just pick what is cheapest and most available

I don't think i've seen 195/50r15 in winter tires? There's a few brands i've looked at and smallest ive seen was 185/60r15.

Would there be a rubbing issue if i went with a 185/60r15 or 195/60r15? i have a 1.5drop as well.
