I live in the snowy midwest. If anyone else does and is looking for a set of snow tires, Tire Rack has Blizzak WS-50 which is one of the best snow tires ever made on closeout. The sizes available are somewhat limited but I know they have 225/55/16 which is the stock size for some Mustangs.

It might not be the season of snow yet but now is the time to buy snow tires for this winter cheap.

Blizzaks

Tire Rack also offers Cash Back

Some other snow tires appear to be on closeout as well.

Keep in mind that most places recommend a different size tire for designated snow tires. The idea is to get a narrower tire if possible that will cut through the snow better.

Here is a link to a tire size calculator that can figure out how equal two sizes are. You want to shoot for no more than about 3 percent error.

205/70/15. Don't forget that the tires themself are only part of the cost. There's getting them mounted on the rims and balanced. When I add that and shipping it brings cost up to buying them locally w/mounting & balancing included in price of tires.

They have 195/70/14 which is the same diameter as yours. You would need to get a set of 14" rims though.

I print out pages from Tire Rack and bring them in to a local tire shop; the owner usually matches their price and throws in mounting/balancing, or at least cuts the price.

Just a side note, these tires should only be installed once the average temp. is below 45F and removed in the spring when it gets above that. orelse you will eat up the tires super fast due to the type of rubber used. as it gets warmer the rubber gets tacky from the friction.

I ran these same tires up in Alaska and after 3 winters they became my regular tires for the summer. Once the softer rubber part of the tread wears down it is just a m+s tire. Not that bad of a ride in the summer either.
