Hello to all, I just took delivery of my 2014 Is 350 awd last week.
At the moment I am thinking about changing the rims to 19 inch or even 20. My question is that, I live in Ontario where we got quite a lot of snow in the winter, will the all season tire such as Michelin PS A/C will cut it in such weather condition or should I just go for performance tires and change into winter tire when the snow falls?

I live in Saskatchewan and we also get a pile of snow. I decided to put winter tires on the stock rims and got a set of 19" wheels with some Michelins for summer. Definitely happy with my decision.

Winter tires on stock rims + summer tires on aftermarkets for the spring/summer. We live in Canada, winter tires are basically a must.

You could get away with all seasons, but they will be marginal at best in snow. The best 4 season, all seasons are Continental DWS, but a summer/winter setup is ideal, especially if you care about dry performance as well.

the annoying thing is that if I got the 19 inch rim right now, and then will only enjoy the summer tire for about 2 month. Then I will be out of the county next summer, and in that case I will be getting 3 set of tires in hand( 18inch oem, 19 inch summer, 19 inch winter) thus almost 5 grand spend in tires and rims. So I was hoping one set of all season would do the job as I only drive in a small town and barely have any highway trips.

Please PM me with a price if anyone interested in the brand new 18 inch Fsport rims, about 500KM on tires.

I heard about the DWS, any idea how is compares with the Michelin PS A/C?
