Thank you all. Long days of work, fried brain when I arrive here. Very pleased to read you guys.. Yeah obob, I guess I will for the 60's :p Im in Montreal, Canada. Very bad road conditions, plenty of holes and roadwork all year round for the next couple of decades. At least :/ I just bought my 2013 cmax (hybrid) and cames with winter tires that will melt s butter so need summer/all season tires. If I have 2 sets of mags the yearly change tasks will be much easier. Since I will be driving a lot, (maybe one set of tires by season if cheap ones) I was thinking "downgrading" to R16 to save some good money. As said somewhere, I can buy new 16" tires AND 16" used mags cheaper than just new 17" tires. Offer in my area is not great for 17" if compared with 16". As +Golfer stated Im interested in lower tire price/over all cost and softer ride, less noise, less jarring when hitting pot holes. I'm concerned with mileage bit ready to try. Winter will be on the original 17". Holes are smoother :p The dealer said me today that 225/60R17 will not fit without touching the fenders and suggested 215/60R16. Any considerations ? TIA
