    Strangely enough 195/65R15 winter tires will fit. And that is what you should be using.

    Danimal,

    IF you do not stick with your current 195/65-15 size you would have the option of going with the following on 15 inch rims:

    205/60-15

    205/65-15

    215/60-15

    The 70 series you suggested would fit, but not properly. If you are looking for a winter tire stay with your OE 195/65-15 size, winter traction is better with a narrow tire.

    There are many highly rated tires in this size available to you including:

    Bridgestone Blizzak WS70

    Michelin X-Ice Xi2

    Continental ExtremeWinterContact

    Dunlop Graspic DS-3

    All are available for around 100 buck or less.

    Holler if you have any additional questions.

    no longer purely is it too early yet interior the united kingdom you could desire to get via all or the great portion of the iciness without ever desiring them. think of in this - till you do many circumstances greater beneficial than the regularly occurring miles in a 300 and sixty 5 days, say 40000 a 300 and sixty 5 days, then the iciness tyres, in spite of if geared up whilst the climate does get undesirable, will nonetheless be on the automobile and rarely worn whilst the spring comes around next 300 and sixty 5 days! you will then want some new basic ones of positioned on and tear the winters out in some thousand miles through their softer compound. it is achievable that if yu greater wholesome iciness tyres your insurer would refuse conceal or boost the top classification because it is categorised via some as a motor vehicle replace. purely no longer properly easily worth the hardship contained in maximum folk of the united kingdom

    Narrow is better -- wide float over snow/slush/mud/etc., narrow tires press through to the pavement and get more traction.
