205 50 16

Remember, wider is not better for snow tires.

Oh man don't put snow tires on those things. Get a spare set of steel wheels and do it that way.

yeah my all-season (used in the winter) i have 185s and i havent had any issues at all. I had my r/t 5s on for the first dusting of snow we got this year (summer tires with a 205 width) i was sliding everywhere
