dmchord Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hi all, Just bought a ‘13 Edge Sport with FWD. It has 22” wheels and currently Toyo Proxes ST III’s on it that seem to be in good shape. I’ve never had a tire with such little sidewalls, and I’m wondering if I need to make some changes before winter. Cost is definitely a factor. They are apparently all season, and I’m not planning on off-roading in the snow, but there are a couple of mountain passes that I could need to go over in winter, and sometimes I need to be on the road before the plows come out. (Not super-snowy where I am in Coeur d’Alene, but we get our share.) I’m used to the Cooper Discoverer AT3’s I had on my Escape, with which I never even thought about snow. Getting 18” or 20” wheels AND winter tires would break the bank. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing this will be a lot cheaper than a set of 22" all-weather or winter tire. You could also look for a used set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the money on good tires on cheap steel wheels and consider it an investment in your health. Just my opinion Going to 18" wheels will be cheaper in total cost Edited August 24, 2022 by Cerberus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
