225/65R vs 225/60R

[Shawneebear93]

I cannot find Blizzak 225/65R15 tires. I have found 225/60R15s for $91.00 at https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop.php?action=findMan2&tirename=Blizzak++WS50 (they're the fourth up from the bottom).
Will these tires fit my car? Or must I find 225/65R15s?
Thanks!

Why the hell are you dead set on 225/65R15's?

And, what wheels are these going on? Factory 15x7's?

Personally, I'd recommend getting a size like 205/65R15's. They'll get better traction than wider tires like 225's, which will just skate along on top of the snow instead of digging in.

But to answer your question...yes, they will fit.

I was under the impression wider is better
I guess I'll get 205's then. Thanks for your help guys!

For a 225 wide tire 65 is an odd sidewall size.

wider is better on dry, But much worse on snow.
