Is it acceptable to have P205/65R15 Winter Tires as winter tires on a 95 Stang GT? I mean is it safe to drop down to that size or should it be at my original summer tire 225/55R16?

I live in Ontario (Toronto).

Thanks,
Derek

wide = float over snow good for off-roading in mountains...

less wide = cut through snow, good for public roads. So I'd get the 205's if they fit on the rims which they should?

Is that too narrow or should I go P215?

Oh and I am also getting new "winter rims" too so size isn't an issue since I am going to replace the rim anyways...
