Winter tires size, will it fit?



Hmm alright, its just tough cuz I'm at home near thanksgiving, winter break and around spring break. I guess I'll have to see what the weather is looking at.
 
You either put them on when the snow is about to fly, or put them on early and get a bit of extra wear. Around here, it can be below zero but no snow on the ground, so still ideal snow tire conditions.

I'd rather have them on and not need them than not have them on and need them.

Is the wear at 50* that much more? Twice as fast? Just wanted to get an idea.

I'm not that much of a tire expert. I can tell you that last winter was mild here for the most part. Most days were in the 8-10*C (47-50*F), and my tires had the same tread as when I put them on (maybe less than 1/32 of wear).
 


Just my 2 cents, but I've had blizzaks on year round for almost 3 years, and they're still at 7/32nds... They're getting to the point where the traction is starting to fade, but my rears are still at 10/32nds and I'll rotate them before the snow falls and be good for another Alaska winter. Lol

I would also like to point out that I got these tires for free, technically... Lol so I'm mildly impressed with the life I've gotten out of these.

Don't you have 40' of snow 11 months of the year? LOL
 


Québec here and I get my snows late November and off Late april/early march.

I currently use Nokian's Hakkas 7, so far they've been the best winter tires I've had.

I've had Blizzaks (Wonderful tire, great on snow and ice, melts fast though.)
X-Ice's, pretty comfortable for a winter tire, good on ice/cold roads, not as much on snowed-in roads
Goodyear Nordics (Worst tire I've had.)

I've tested chiness winter tires, they are generally crappy, Sailuns and Momo's usually are acceptable though.
Snowtrakkers are horrible.

Kumho's Wintercraft Wi31 or WP51/71 series do the job pretty good as well for the price.
My favorite for the price in the high-end lineups are Gislaved Nordfrost or Pirelli's Winter Ice Zero FR(A tad more expensive so I'd go with Gislaved)

Kinda just recommendations as I'm pretty well used to suggesting winter tires, as well, I probably sell a few thousands a week nowadays, hah.
