winter tires
 
im sure this has been addressed, but i cant find any 20inch snow tires for my 02 4.6....any suggestions? (besides changing the rims)

Buy a set of 17" rims, or, if you must, 18" rims.

that's because there isn't any 20 inch snow tires unless you go the "all-season" route. im planning to get a set of 18 inch snow tires for this upcoming winter.

LOL you would think with all the 20+ wheels running around today someone would have a snow tire for them.....who makes the all season tire?? and what rim/tire combo do yall reccomend? thanks for the help!

www.tirerack.com ... where most people purchase tires and/or rims as well.

not sure where you live, but here in DC, the snow isn't too bad. I recently bought a set of Toyo Proxes S/Ts that I plan to use year-round. Do a search here and on goggle to get a full review. I did still keep my 18s, just in case though.

Just say no! 20 are so wide even with snow tires you will be floating on the snow and in to the nearest ditch or worse :wow: Yes I am trying to scare you. Get a set of 17 with 235 for the best traction.
18 with 245-255 would be decent as well.

Be safe :thumbup:

exactly. 20's in the snow are useless. don't go any higher than 18's.
