I live in NH. Ski 2-3X a week. Snow is good!
Summer tires are 205/55x16.
Winter are 205/60x15. No issues at all in 18 winters here. Assuming one knows how to drive in snow an extra 10mm of tread width, one way or the other means nothing.
Had 195/65x15 on daughter's car which went through 3 Maine winters while she was in college. Those were also fine, but no significant difference in performance between sizes.
I prefer the 205 because most winter driving is on bare roads, where more rubber is good.
But a 185 is definitely not enough tire for a 9K.

- 195/65R15 is the right size. But 225/45R17 works fine, AdamB , Sat, 25 Oct 2014 02:21:10
