Winter Tires Help

Hey all,

I searched the forum and could not find a thread that said which sizes fit on the SS-SC... So I want to ask, will these tires with 16inch regular steel rims fit: ?

Goodyear Nordic P205/60R16 91S

OR

Goodyear Nordic P205/55R16 89S

Let me know as I'm going to buy my winter's this weekend!

PS: Summer is back, 20 degrees celcius in Montreal on Friday!!!!! LOLOLOL Gotta love global warming

At the bottom of the list a 205-55 has a height of 24.9" Using this tire as a guide.

Thing is, can the car still handle the 205-60's or max only the 55's? Cuz the 60's are cheaper LoL... But whatever not by much. I guess I will get the 55's to be sure they fit good. There's another SS-SC in the parking lot at my work with 205/55-16's and they look ok.

Circumference of stock = 80.45 in

Circumference of 205/55/16 = 78.13 in
Circumference of 205/60/16 = 80.67 in
