<br>Im definitely close. I think I want to go with 195/65/15s on Passat Rims.<p>Here are the choices:<br>Dunlop Graspics - 195/65/15 25.0 diameter with 831 revs/mile<br>Dunlop Sport M2 - 195/65/15 25.2 diameter with 830 revs/mile<br>Rim width on both is 6.0.<br>vs stock:<br>Dunlop SP8000 - 205/55/16 24.9 diameter with 833 revs/mile<p><br>The Graspics are closest to stock it looks and they are in the $55 range each.<p>Any comments appreciated...

I'd go with the Graspics if you anticipate a lot of snow and ice on the roads where you live. If roads are predominantly dry, go with the WinterSports. I'm in NJ, and that's what I did. Putting them on this week, even though it's 73 degrees here today.<p>Good luck.<p>richard b.<br>96 2.8 QM

Im in Southern NY and Im expecting a lot of snow but we too have 70 degree temps.<p>I dont know what to think.<p>The Winter Sports I think are more expensive.... Oh well.

195/65-15 "T" rated 118 mph $80 Tirerack.<br>Seemed like the best fit for around Boston w/trips to ski country.<br>I'll have them on this weekend so I can give impressions then.<br>
