Default Re: 16 inchers for snow tires
1010tires.com will show you a tire calculator. You can plug in the OEM and the size you are looking to use.

The 235/55/16 is a better fit and the revs per mile on these are only 5.5 (less) different and the speedometer would be at 59.6 (.5666% to slow) and the overall diameter is 26.17

The 225/55/16 revs per mile on these are only 8.7 (more) different and the speedometer would be at 60.6 (1.08% to fast) and the overall diameter is 25.74

As I've got a truck (RWD ) with a ShurTrax Traction aid on order, I've given up on driving the XF this winter. Sure, the truck isn't all that great, but a 94' Ranger getting wrecked is a lot more acceptable in my opinion.

BTW for those of you who have RWD trucks or even the crossfire, go to Amazon and check out the SureTrax they have some pretty good deals for just the bladder and you can get your own tie down's.
