315s in winter


i have a 10.5/17 in wheel and ive been using nittos but there worn and one is flat , i have a 9in/17 wheel on the front. im trying to find tires that will work in the winter, from what ive heard nitto last like 5 minutes in winter, and i dont wanna die either so i would prefer something that is actually rated for winter but i can't find anything. im also looking at like 315/60/17 but i dont know if they will fit. i have a 99 cobra

heck the factory tires will work just fine. I run BFG KDWs...they work fairly well in light snow/ice.

I don't think they make anything except summer tire that at 315/35-17. You might be able to get a 275/40-17 to fit on your 10.5 wheels.

Depends on the brand. Some fit wider than average and some fit wider than average.

On average though, a 275 is ideal for a 9in wide tire/rim so fitting a 275 on a 10.5 rim will stretch it a little bit.
