Winter Tire size

What size of winter tire is the norm??

I currently have 13" steelies with all seasons and was considering of getting 15"steelies with winter tires. Is that overkill? Or should I get 14" or stick with 13".

Will one size out perform/be better than the other?

Slvr-Bullet,

If I were you, I would stay with the 13s. Remember, in snow, the skinnier the tire, the better it is in the snow. You won't have the best handling car but it can help you avoid accidents. Also, 13s are cheaper....

It also might improve you ride quality because of the wider sidewalls.

If the 13s clear your brakes, then keep 'em.
