So as some members may know, up in quebec canada, winter tires are mandatory. So i was lucky to get a sweet pair of michelin x-ice for free... So obviously i could not refuse to take em. The size is 205/55/16, is this size gonna giv me trouble or will it fit fine on my mp5?
 
That's the same size I'm running winter and summer. If you are stock height you will have no problems at all. If you are lowered you will get minor rubbing on the fender liner, with a loaded car going over bumps or cornering and going over big bumps with just one person. You don't need to worry about it though. The thing you need to remember most is that your speedo is going to be off by about 5%. so it'll read slower than you are actually going.
