Winter tires and wheels for Elantra'03
Thanks.
Tirerack web site talked about 205/50R-16 as an optional size tires for 03
But I 'm wondering if anybody had practically used this size on the road.
Is doable try 15" wheels on front and 16" wheels on rear? PS.Personally I never tried in my life this kind of tires combination.

Winter tires and wheels for Elantra'03
I have a half used set of 205/55R16 winter tires and want to use for my Elantra' 03.But if it doable I have to buy a set of 16"wheels to put tires on.
I'm wondering if I can use 205/55R16 winter tires to fit for Elantra'03 or I throw away those tires?

Never drive on only 2 snow tires. Either get a set of 4 or just keep the other tires on. Driving with just 2 snow tires is unsafe.

Q: Can I put snow tires on just the drive wheels of my car?
A: Putting just two snow tires on your car is a bad idea. If you have a front-wheel-drive car and put snow tires on the front only, the back wheels won't have anywhere near as much grip as the front wheels. This will make the car much more likely to spin out while braking or cornering. Likewise, if you put snow tires on the just back wheels of a rear-wheel-drive car, the wheels that do the steering won't grip as well as those that provide the power, so the car may not respond when the steering wheel is turned -- it will simply plow straight ahead. Always install snow tires as a full set of four.</B>

Why Four Winter Tires? I Thought I Would Only Need Two.
Today's winter tires are better at providing ice and snow traction than ever before. The technology used to develop the tread designs and tread compounds has evolved beyond what you may have used previously. Every one of our tire manufacturers and 7 out of 10 vehicle manufacturers recommend four winter tires be used on rear wheel, front wheel or four wheel drive vehicles. This is because if you use two dissimilar types of tires on your vehicle, you'll have a vehicle that has a "split" personality. One end of the vehicle won't react and perform the same as the other in the dry, wet, slush and snow conditions you'll encounter before the end of winter. Especially in emergency situations, you'll find that your vehicle will probably understeer in one condition and oversteer in another. It is preferable to keep your vehicles handling as consistently as possible by "matching" all four tires. Our customers who have matched their tires tell us they're glad they made the extra investment in four winter tires (and wheels) so they can accelerate, brake, handle and better control their vehicle through winter's challenges.
