21" Uberturbine for 20" Induction Wheel Swap

[yossi]

You can actually get a 265/35/r21 winter tires that fit both wheels. That is what we were going to do this winter and see how it works. If not, we will just buy an aftermarket set of 20’s or find some Inductions.

Yeah, I haven't looked at the speed/weight rating yet, but I would assume it would be OK, or close. I was thinking these were the ones we will go with once the winter gets closer here in Chicago. Then maybe slap the Summers back on next year and finally do a permanent replacement with the All-Seasons. I'm sure other manufactures will come out with some All-Seasons that fit. The market will be too big to pass on.

I dont understand why owners dont want the Uberturbines? Is it primarily because weight and range loss? or is there more? I was planning to get a performance Y but might flip to LR

The ride is quite bumpy with the 21s and the PUP. The range dip doesn't help. I'm actually considering the 20s too. If you've got 20s on your PUP post pics. Would love to see that the sportiness doesn't get lost.

Beautiful photos! You can barely tell the difference! How much better is the ride quality and sound?

From what I remember, not that big of a difference. It's not as bumpy but the sound is about the same. I think it has to do with the tire pressure too. I can feel a difference between 38 psi (cold day) vs 42+ psi (warm/hot day).

Summer tires only. You’ll need winters for Chicago.
