Up-Sizing on stock rims, Good/Bad idea?
I'm thinking about going with 215/60/15, vs. my stock 205/65/15's I know it' will change the calibration of my speedometer, and while a wider tread will be better in the summer, the midwest winter mixed with a wider tread will make traction worse. Anyone have any perspectives on how much worse the wider tire will be in the winter months? Also, how serious is the impact of speedometer calibration?

My guess would be that the tire you choose is of more importance for winter traction than a small change in width.
Edit: Your ride will be a little harder. And your cornering and general handling will be a little better.
