the winter
But why they intall 4 tires R16 on a mag which are 17inch ?

On the side of my doors they write R16 and i'm more confuse . ahahah

You cannot install 16" tires on 17" wheels. Look at the existing tires and get the same thing.

You might be confused as you can't mount 16" tires on a 17" wheel. Measure the wheels, the diameter is to the tire mounting diameter, not the OD of the flange on the wheel. I suspect you bought 16" rims.

Have a tire shop verify your tire/wheel size so that you know what they are.
