Snow tires for 21 Ubers?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hello,

Before you attack me, I tried searching the forum for similar questions but didn't find an answer. I hope this time I could get some help. I have one simple question:

Has or does anyone know what snow/winter tires I could use on the 21" Ubers for the MYP? I know OEM size tires are going to be a No, but has anyone used different size Snow/winter tires on the 21" that are safe and tested?

Thank you so much.

I’m running HAKKAPELIITTA R3 snow tires on the 21” Uberturbines without issues.

265/40r21
285/40r21

The fronts barely clear the front upper control arm (1mm) and at full turn it slightly rubs the fender liner.

It’s been snowing for the last few days and they have been fantastic in the snow.

Trying to figure out if I should:
1. Buy 21" snow tires and mount and balance them twice a year
2. Buy a set of rims with snow tires
3. Buy a set of rims with CrossClimate2s.

I used to switch out 2 sets of snow tires myself for our two cars and it would ruin my back for the day. I suppose I could bring the set to Discount Tire and let them do it.

I also just bought a set of M3 TSportline 19 TSVs and CrossClimate2s for my wife's MYLR. Would love to see how they do in the snow first, but that means waiting until the last minute. Bi hear snow tires will be in short supply per the wars.

I'm interested in putting snow tires on the 21s, but I was also thinking of moving the rears to the front and putting 295sbon the rear for wheel protection. 275 and 295 seem so wide for snow tires. I haven't even searched for that size yet.

Resurrecting this thread for more MYP snow tires discussion.
 
In Norway the YP comes with Nokian R5, I kindof like this tire.
Its an EV specific tire with high load. Its not as rubbery feel as Nokian R3 was.

If I didnt have this, I would also look at Michelin or Goodyear or Continental.
Most likely I would buy Continental if not Nokian R5
