I'm buying winter/snow tires, and I want to buy skinnier tires since they handle much better in snow..

The current tire size I run is 225/60-16.. I think the wheel width is 8 inches.. so how skinny can I go (width wise) on the tires? 205s? 195s?

wheels are either 6.5 or 7.5

Another random question.. do they make roof racks for our cars? Is it possible to get a roof rack that doesn't scratch your paint and what not, to hold ski's?

Curious...why do you want a skinny tire?

Suneet

Skinnier tires perform better in wet and snow conditions.. more weight per square inch of the tire translates to more friction per square inch of the tire in rain and snow..

That's becuase I'm CA in my heart I still rock the Cali plates!

I live in Seattle now, been about 4 months, and I've been going skiing a lot.. and up the mountain in snow the car is a death trap
