question on winter tires hey guys i just ordered 2 blizzaks (225/55/16). I have cooper zeon 2xs (245/50/16) that were terrible in getting around but do have decent tread left. Do you think its ok that i just put the winter tires in the back like i was going to and put the coopers in front or should i run blizzaks at all four corners? The odd sizes front and back are worrying me but should i be its not that big of a difference, is it?

you could do that the tire heights are close enough to being the same that it should not be a problem but.. the rear will have all kinds of grip with the snow tires and the front will have nothing compared to the rear. So be aware you will have the feeling of no steering and have a hard time getting the car to stop. run all 4 the same would be the best thing to do.

These cars need ALL of the help they can get for snow/ice traction FRONT AND REAR!!
