Trying to find snow's for my girlfriends 2003 Altima 2.5S. What will fit, alternate sizes????? Ideally would like to get at least two mounted on rims and use her wheel covers. All I found at Tire Rack was Blizzak's w-50's (I think). What are some other choices that would fit her Altima???? Thanks in advance!! Jefff:help

Due to the unusual stock size that is the only snow tire made. You can also look at a 215/60-16 or even a 225/60-16. It's just an odd size they selected for stock. The narrower the better for snow traction. I would stick with the stock size if possible.

The only selection still left in that size is the Blizzak WS-50 at $77.00 each. Even those are in very limited supply. Other good choices were the Dunlop Graspic DS-1 and the Michelin Arctic Alpin, both of which are sold out for the season. We start getting these in around September/October.
