How many of you go wit snow tires for your RX for winter?
What size do you go with?
What size do you go with?
I run them November to March in the stock 18" size, I think it's 235/55/18?
I tried to find a used set of stock 17" wheels to use for the snow tires but they are hard to find at a reasonable price around here. Ended up with a used set of the 5-spoke 18s off eBay.
As expected, the snow tires are a huge improvement over the stock Michelin all seasons in the white stuff.

I do (don't have any choice, where I'm living 
). It's my 2nd set of Nokian: Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 SUV, 225/65/R17 (no studs, same with the Hakkapeliitta 5 I had, before). Best tires for (real) winter

i run the stock 18" size with bridgestone Blizzaks, they are fantastic. combined with the snow button, this vehicle is amazing in the snow.

Bring this back up. If you have the stock 17"(225/65/17). Would you go down to 16" for winters? I usually do, but found a thread here about 16" rims and the only reply was no.
In theory 225/70/16 would work. But will 16" rims clear the calipers?
