225/60/16 for winter tires

Would it be okay to put 225/60/16 winter tires on without affecting performance and traction?

Thanks

That's pretty tall, and your speedo would be way off. 225/55-16 may be the better solution. It's within 2% of the OE circumference.

Tirerack recommends 215/55/16 or alternatively 205/60/16.

215/55/16 is just about identical diameter to stock. 205/60/16 is a little off, about 1 or 2 %.
