You people with your small tires! I can't go smaller than 16" on my car because of brake clearance (before anyone asks - the base model Mazda3s with 15' wheels have smaller brakes). :angry: Needless to say - big winter tires are very expensive.
I'm sitting on 205/50/17 Toyo Snowprox S950 (stock tire size) on the stock rims. It got me through about a foot of snow without getting stuck. Was plowing like crazy though (lowered 2").
