The difference between the sizes you mentioned essentially means you'd have a tire and wheel that is 1 inch taller in overall diameter. A lot of times this isn't a problem since you really would only have 1/2 inch less fender well clearance than what you currently have but you should check to make sure. Your speedometer will read slower than you really will be going as well.

The difference between the sizes you mentioned essentially means you'd have a tire and wheel that is 1 inch taller in overall diameter. A lot of times this isn't a problem since you really would only have 1/2 inch less fender well clearance than what you currently have but you should check to make sure. Your speedometer will read slower than you really will be going as well. For the tire size you currently have the tire cables part # PW1042 that you referenced are a confirmed fit. This would be a less expensive route for sure. Snow tires are great though. They wouldn't ever require you to install chains in inclement weather.
