Hi,
I bought a 2000 Pathfinder and I am going to replace my tires real soon.
Stock is 255 but right now they have 225's on. For snow is the smaller tire better?
I live in Mass so Snow and Ice is common all winter.
thanks

I would still go with the stock size since the suspension is made for that size.PatsFan wrote:Hi,

Any dedicated wintertire will do quite well in Mass in witer ( I used ot live in MN).
But if you wish to avoid a dedicated winter tire may I suggest Hankook Dynapro ATM (in the stock size).
They are balanced between highway, mild offroad and are rated with the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol without being a dedicated wintertire.
So you can run them year around.
(I just put them on my 2nd vehicle an XTerra which has a lot in common with an R51 and intend to run them year 'round)
And while they are not economy tires they are also reasonably priced.
