Would them tires fit on my fit ?

I have a 2010 fit sport with 185/55/r16 tires.

I need to get myself winter tires and my roommate sells 4 winter tires and I was wondering if they'd fit on my car (assuming I get the right rims)

195/60/r15

I know it has been answered but the said answer was for a 1st generation fit so I just wanted to make sure it was still okay since the tires are pretty cheap and im in a hurry to change since i had to skip work today cuz of the ice...


Thanks !

They'll fit but are quite wide. Narrow tires work far better in snow as they cut though and make better contact with the road. Wide tires tend to float on top of the snow (less traction) especially on lightweight cars.

Btw, welcome to the forum. Just a guess but are you around the Montreal area? We got freezing rain and icy roads today.

Hehehe you got me !

But then will they fit ? even though i'm not getting the best out of them... It's only 200$...

Compared to 400$ and up, i'd rather pick those if I know they will perform better on snow than my summer ones ahah

Even though the tires might be a little wider than optimum, they HAVE to be better than the stock Dunlop all seasons.
