But we don't have to worry about being eaten by pythons when we take out the trash, so stuff evens out.

 

I live in VA but when I use to visit my parents in SC the alligators were way more of an issue than snakes lol

 

It only hurts for a brief terrifying minute!

 

I've checked a few places here in British Columbia, and no one has 21" all-weather rubber yet (at least on Vancouver Island).

It was suggested to check back around September.

The tires that come on the RX 500h, is supposed to be M+S, so that might be okay for at least the first winter, but I was hoping to find proper all-weather.

 

I'm in Pittsburgh. I'm hoping to get NEXT winter out of the Goodyear Touring tires here. But I'd like something with better winter characteristics. So I'm sure I'll be looking for tires in about 18 months as we go into winter 2024-25.

 

M&S should be fine for the island. If you change slightly (same diameter, diff. ratios) these will fit. https://www.1010tires.com/Tires/Mich...+CUV/265-45R21

 

Thanks for that link.
I'll have to decide if I want to go to a little lower profile.

The M&S should be good for the island, that is what comes with the vehicle, and I believe is the minimum for the Malahat!

Free rotations is more important to me then where the wheels come from, and I can work in the annual oil change.

 

If you are buying from KalTire, there are a lot of free services. Rotations, flat fixes (last one cost my kid $50!), warranty, trade-ins, balancing, etc. And best deal with price beat.

 

Sure, my son used to work for Kaltire, and we were grandfathered in for free rotations with our last purchase of rims and rubber.

 

Does anyone have a FSport and tried looking for snow chains? Cant seems to find anything for the 21" FSport wheels.

 

I don't believe F Sport has a different size than regular 21" tires.

On none 500h cars the 19" will fit, but i don't know if 18" fits.

 

Can we make this a stick thread?

Wondering if we can gather more info on Winter tire / wheel options as more people take possession of their cars

 

I suspect come fall there will be many more options with a car that sells so many units every year.

 

‘I agree. I talked with my friend who is a manager at Discount Tire and says there is no way the tire manufacturers will not have some new 21” tires for the RX series. He said also to start saving for them now as they will be expensive.

I am pretty happy with the Goodyears on my 350h and if I get good wear, I would consider buying the same.

 

I have put a deposit on a 2023 RX 350. I will be trading in my 2019 RX 450h. I live in Alaska and just bought winter tires and rims for my 450h last year. The summer (original) tires are on the 450 now. I just was wondering if the 235/55R20 tires will fit on the 350? It says my 350 will be delivered with 235/50R21 tires. I hate to have to buy new winter tires and rims if I don't absolutely have to. Up here we change our tires in October and early May back and forth.
Thanks!
