rbalaian Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm wondering if anyone has put winter or snow tires (or M+S and\or 'snowflake' tires) on their 20" wheels? I have a 2008 SEL AWD that has become the wife's car. I take it to Tahoe (from the SF Bay Area) pretty regularly, and the stock 18" tires are a little weak in a lot of snow. The wife wants some bling (Incubus Shylocks seem nice), and it seems that winter tires are only available or affordable up to 20". The Blizzaks seem like the best around, but I imagine they're noisy. Goodyear has some too, as I'm sure do others. 245\50\20 is the size of choice there, or others are running something else? Just got started on the hunt, figured I'd start here. Thanks rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not have to swap wheels if I can help it, but it may be the right thing to do in the end. I'm just curious what other people have done in case there's a suitable alternative out there.
