So let me start by saying i know very little about winter/snow tires. I was raised in Florida, lived between Wyoming and Oregon for the last couple years, and moving to Alaska soon where they're going to be a must.

I'm having trouble finding what size winter tire works best on 1st Gen Outback with keeping the 15" stock wheel. I'm looking at Blizzak WS70's on tire rack and the 205/65/15 seems closest to stock size but then I see people downsize their tire size for winter tires? would a 195/65 be better?

I'd just like to see what other's are running and what works best

Thanks
