Just picked up a new V6 Coupe but will need winter tires for next year. Seem to be some around now as winter is almost over?
I'm curious to hear what the best option tire size will be for this car, maybe something with a 75 width??
Thanks

The best tire I see for your car would be size 215/65-16 and the best tire would be a bridgestone blizzak revo 1

A 75 would be larger and may not fit properly.

fixed

for future referance... the first number (215 in this case) is the width
the second number (65) is the percentage of the width (215mm) that makes the sidewall height... not 65mm but 65% OF 215mm
and the third number (16) is the rim diameter
