Steven Paiva Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I had a 2009 SXT with 19" rims and we used 17" rims for the snow tires. was a great solution performance and price wise. We sold the snows with the 2009 but can't remember what size the tires and rims were. Anyone know where I could find that out? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to TireRack.com (or any other large tire retailer) and enter your vehicle information... They will have an answer for you immediately. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 If these were aftermarket 17" wheels, how would we know what size they were? Lol. If you don't have the vehicle, why do you need the info? A little background would be helpful. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Little background: I have not used snow tires in over 20 years! All seasons work great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 2009 - 2011 had small front rotors and would take 16" rims while late 2012 to date will only allow the use 17" or larger. Steven Paiva and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_puck Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Little background: I have not used snow tires in over 20 years! All seasons work great for me. And that is ok. But do remember, winter tire rubber compounds have changed drastically in the last 20 years and you can't compare old snow tyres with the new stuff. The new compounds are amazing. Better living through chemistry! dhh3 and Steven Paiva 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 And $! I've been pricing them out and they are pretty cheap actually... $120 per tire aint bad. They would also extend the life of your summer tire. I have personally never tried them, but this year I think I am going to take the leap and see what all the hype is about. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's strange we think $120 each for a tire is reasonable....I just put tires on my daughters beater car....$33 each. All 4 tires with replacement certificates for less than $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Oh, I know, the $33 ones were 185/65-14, BUT, I just found replacement for the DJ (225/65-17) for $65 each. Getting them this weekend. $435 out the door with replacement certificates. Discount Tire is the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
