snow tire question
what are the pros/cons to having 195/60R 15 snow tires on my 06 impreza 2.5, versus having the recommended stock 205/55R 16?

I assume this is a crosspost of the one in the newbies section.
Nothing except a misreading speedometer and possibly slightly worse mileage due to the change in gearing. Since you mentioned in the other thread that you're asking because of a set you have available (rather than buying new), go for it. They'll work fine. |

there arnt going to be any serious downsides other than dry grip as sniper said you will have a little lower gearing and because of that your spedo will be slightly off, nothing to worry about though.
