Craigs list ... picked up two sets of steels, one three years ago, and one 6 months ago. Blizzak WS60 195/60R16 on each Vibe for the 4 winter months.

I did exactly that two months ago. WS60's in 195/60R16's on an extra set of stock steel 16"x6.5" rims. It was noted that the ws60's were the only winter tire that came in that narrower size. I just have not swapped them onto the car yet ... was thinking of putting them on Thanksgiving week...

Generally yes, 15" tires will be cheaper than 16" tires. I could not find 15" steel rims at a acceptable price, so ended up buying a set of 16" steels on Craigs List for $120. Then had Blizzak WS60's in 195/60R16's mounted, balanced, stems, tax ... $391 out the door.These will go...

Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 in 195/60R16 on steel wheels. Mainly because I wanted to go narrower than the 205 stock width AS tire. The Blizzak WS-60 was the only winter tire I could find in a 195/60R16 size .... which is only 0.2" diameter larger than stock 205/55R16$120 for 16" steel wheels...

The difference might be what?... 1-2 lbs per wheel? Less than the weight of a gallon of gas? Wheels roll, and they are attached to a vehical that weighs how much?

Rather than trashing the speaker .... There is a trace on the circuit board leading to one leg/pin of the speaker. Carefully scrape/cut the trace with a exacto knife or razor blade. If it becomes neccessary to repair the speaker, solder a short piece of wire accross the cut trace. Just a thoughtl

It is not the wheel/rims that change milage. What really matters is the diameter of the tire that meets road. As diameter increases, revolutions decrease per distance traveled. This effects both gearing, and braking ability. As diameter increases, you are operating lower in the power/RPM band of the...
