Default Thanks Paul

Probably a good idea to get 5 winter tires since it could be difficult to locate a replacement tire in late winter if you blow out a sidewall on a pothole.
Paul, thanks for details. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

275/55 R20 fits perfect and you get a lot more choices. I got the Blizzaks in that size and I also looked at the Michelin X-ice but they did not have the Michelins in stock. Summer is the best time to buy snow tires.

Yep. 275/55/20 is an alternate OEM sizing for snow tires listed in the owners manual.

Far more in that size and they typically have an XL rating.

July and I'm thinking of snow tires.

Winter is coming (* or already be on hand if you're an antipodean)
