Do you guys suggest getting 16 inch winter tires or should I go for the normal 17? Would driving on 16s have a detrimental effect on mileage/car? 225/45/16?

I'm probably gonna be driving to vermont from NY a lot so any help would be appreciated.

 

ughh this car is difficult in snow

 

Uhh even with winter tires??

Also, anyone wanna chime in about my question? My friend suggested 195/60/16...

 

This has been thread on this topic already, please do a search.

In Europe, the CU2 (Honda Accord) (our TSX) comes with 16" rims and tires on the base model. 16 x 6.5J, 205/60R16.

In general, winter tires with narrower width (205 vs 225) and taller sidewall (60 series vs 50 series) is better. From Tire Rack website " If you're going to drive through lots of snow this year you'll want your winter tires and wheels in sizes that help put the laws of physics on your side. A wide, low profile or large tire has to "plow" a wide path through snow which causes more resistance. The narrower the tire, the easier you can get through snow."

 

^ Pretty much all you need to know.

Just make sure 16s can fit over the brakes.

 

Thanks for the info Tech. I just totally blanked on out using the search...I'm usually diligent about using search. I do see the other threads you posted in so thanks for the info.
