Question 185 - 70- R14 W123 300D snow tires?

Guys,

i have a set of 4 brand new Blizzak snow tires, mounted on 240D alloy rims, 185-70 R14.

I want to use them this winter on my 300D. Stock tire size on a 300D is 195-70-R14. So the snow ties are thinner, which I think is good.

Any issues with my thinking here? Am I good to go?

This also means I get to run the 240D wheel covers :-)

They will be fine. Some years even specified that size.

I second that, you should be good to go.

A few years ago I put some snow tires from a 500 series on a 190D...worked great but they were a little large for the 190. I don't remember the size on them...
