Winter Tires on GT 2002

**Jimmy070** · 12-17-2004, 04:52 PM

Hello All, does anyone knows if I can put a 195/65R15 tires (snow tires) on my 2002 GT instead of the original 195/60R15?
Thanks

yeah, as long as your car isn't lowered too much, it should be fine. your speedo will be SLIGHTLY inaccurate, meaning it'll show youre going slightly faster than you are. No big deal.

Thanks, you bring a good point!! Since it is a lease, would you know what the varriance would be?? is it more like 10% or 1%?

Thanks

3.2% faster

so when your speedo says 60mph, you'll be doing 61.9mph in reality.
