Snow tire question.

[SupraJunky101]

This morning I got a set of Winterforce studded snows, brand new, for free. They came with White, 5X114.3 Rims. I know the wheel part will fit but my only concern is that they are 195/60/15.

I know that is small, but my question is, will I be able to run these without any problems. I know my speedo may be off and they will look ridiculious but I'd rather have the truck driveable in snow rather than getting stuck on flat ground.

Thanks in advance

I have 15" winter steel wheels. No problems here, other than I can't do the C2C drop.

I know the steelies will work but Im wondering if the wheels will sit too far in with them being so narrow. I know narrower is better but I've never ran something this small

I can't help you with your question, but I can say that I have the stock size snow tires on my truck with the factory wheels and I have had no problems getting around in the snow. It actually handles really well on dry ground as well. Since you got those tires for free I'd try to go with those if possible.

I say slap on and drive down the street and see how they ride.. just turn hard both ways and if no scrubbing and your brake caliper isnt hitting id say your good to go:top:

Sounds like a plan, just didn't know if anyone had run 195's on their X


I'll make sure to post some pics when it's done

As long as you don't haul any big loads you should be fine. Those 195's have a low load range.
