#67 of 71 different snow tire sizes for 2009 Outlander by haggisman Oct 28, 2009 (6:38 am)
Hi   Would anyone know if it's ok to use a set of 205x60R16 snow tires on a 2009 Outlander V6 AWD ???   Reason I ask is my girlfriend has these tires left over from her 2009 Lancer and they are fairly close in size to stock 215x70R16   Local tire guy said they were "too small" I guess aspect ratio is the issue here.   Any advice appreciated!   Scotty Replies to this message: comem47 (Oct 28, 2009 7:48 am)

Replying to: haggisman (Oct 28, 2009 6:38 am) If you mean using 'em on only 2 wheels while keeping the 70's on the other 2 wheels, that's a no-no with 4WD. If all 4 are the same tire and circumference, it would be doable, but see below for the difference in speedo error, etc with the OEM tire as the standard.   Spec Sidewall radius Dia circumf revs/mi speedo odo dif 215/70-16 5.9" 13.9" 27.9" 87.5" 724/mi 60MPH 10000mi N/A 205/60-16 4.8" 12.8" 25.7" 80.7" 785/mi 65MPH 10843mi -7.8%

obviously the response(#68) shows that he;s a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than i am. and he's right on when he tells you to apply them in 4's only. the supplied mitsu manual is pretty emphatic about using the same size snows (which i did after talking to my local tire dealer that i trust) and while i'm sure a minor size change is ok i went with the expert advice..

Replying to: comem47 (Oct 21, 2009 8:39 pm) I chose them in the 215-65R16 size because they were about $100 cheaper than the 215-70R16 size. There is an SUV version in the 70series and a bit more expensive. My speedo shows about 4% higher than actual speed, but that's ok for winter use. I use exactly the same size on my 4500lb Sienna and they also work great, so I have no need of the SUV version on my 3600lb outlander. We don't have super steep driveways, but winter in Calgary offers a lot of quick changes (snow to rain to freezing rain to -30C and below all in one day sometimes). Regardless of conditions, we can count on getting where we need to go and that peace of mind is worth the extra bucks for these.
