One Quebec dealer is already advertising that a set of winter tires

What size are they advertising?

They didn't say. Foolish to assume they'd be the same size as the OEM tire?

Who knows. The Kaltire has one https://shop.kaltire.com/tiresresults/

The base model Mirage I tested had winter tires on it:

Kumho I'ZEN KW22
They appeared to have tread blocks that could take studs also
165/65 R14
79T
unidirectional
Max load 963 lbs / 44 PSI





And that wheel cover was already scratched there when I got the car!

Would a taller, slightly wider tire fit ok? Like a 185/70/14 or a 195/70/14? I don't need snow tires where I live, but having a bit more sidewall and more ground clearance would be beneficial for me.

Why did they have someone testing it with snow tires in the summer? That's going to hurt gas mileage a bit ...

That's a good question.

I don't see why not. With the usual effect on your speedometer/odometer.

That's a good question.

Did it negatively affect fuel economy that you could see?

They look like they would be good snow tires!
