Hi Folks,
Just picked up my 2018 VW Golf Comfortline last week. Now it's time to start thinking about winter tires being that I'm here in Ottawa and there are some days where the winter weather can be quite bad.
Looking for some recommendations from all of you. I'm leaning towards the Bridgestone Blizzaks WS80. I never tried them but they seem to be getting very good reviews every year.
One more thing. The stock tires are 16" on my car. Is it recommended that I drop to 15" winter tires? Did some research and I read that dropping a tire size lower for winters has some benefits. Anyone else do this? And if I do drop a tire size lower and a tire blows out, can I use the 16" spare with the other tires being 15"?
Thanks for the help.
