[Rovernet] Tire size for steel wheels on Federal Series II 2000TC

[Ruggeri, Robert]

My car will be in storage during the cold weather but they're saying that the tires'll deteriorate and void the warranty.  
I'll go with the Vredestein's in 165 80 14 unless someone's experience dictates otherwise....

Thank you

Bob Ruggeri

No, its in the compound too Brian. Soft summer tyres will be rock hard at
winter temps. You need a compound that remains soft at sub-zero temps.
