I would like tires that perform better in the snow than the OEM all seasons for frequent driving to Colorado ski spots. I would rather not store the 2nd set of wheels/tires and found that the all-season CrossClimate SUV tire to be promising. My current 19s are fine, but I wouldn't mind a lighter wheel and a little more cushy ride.
I think I found a wheel/tire combo (18x8 +35mm wheels and 255/55R18 tires) that would work, but the size profile is a bit different than OEM. I have never bought aftermarket wheels and never got tires that weren't an exact match in outer diameter and want to know what I am getting into. I know it will reduce some wheel well clearance and the rotations/mile will be about 3% off per this site:
Attached is an image of the specific wheel and tire combo I am looking at. I am not attached to the wheel design... wouldn't mind a different look or even a bit wider one - this one is super light at 22.9lbs which is nice.
Does anyone have this wheel/tire size combo installed on a MY or otherwise have any words of wisdom? e.g. Can I get the CrossClimate SUV or similar performing all season on another wheel?
Thanks in advance!
