Hey everyone. I'm new here. I'll be taking delivery of a new true red Mazda 3 GT sedan this week.
I have a quick question regarding winter tire sizes for the 3. I know alot of people run 205/55-16 winter tires but I was wondering if there is any problem of running 195/60-16 tires. From what I heard, the thinner width of the tire is better to cut through snow. Anybody here running this size?
Any ideas?


Thanks!

You shouldn't have any issues at all running that size it might show a bit slower on your speedo. Running the thinner width will help you cut through the snow better.
