Default Winter Tire Size Alternative

Hi, I just upgraded from a UX250h to the UX350h. I still have my winter tire (only lightly used for 2 seasons) 225/50R18 for my UX250h and am wondering if I can use this as the winter tires for UX350h? I know the tire will be slightly smaller but will this be compatible?

Do you mean you bought a NX350h?

The wheels are completely different and will not fit.

Do you have tire and wheel set?

Dam, thought I can reused the winter tires since they are very new and the size compared to the NX350h stock is about 2.2inches lower in diameter which means it will be 1.05 inches closer to the ground

That is a large different in size, in addition to the wheels that won't fit. It might cause issues with all the safety systems since the cars actual speed will be different than what the car thinks it is.
