TOURING & what 16" wheels to buy?

Hello, I have the Touring-trim with factory 17" wheels.
I'm getting Snow tires and want 16" wheels.
What 16" wheels would you buy? (Light weight and great deal on four 16" wheels)


I live in the northeast and winters here are crazy. What 16" snow tires would you buy? 70miles one way trip to work:-/

Michelin X-ice3 can go 20-25k miles before changing. That's amazing for snow tires. That's 4-5 winter seasons

Will you be opting for X-Ice then as your snow tires for the season? If you're interested, Costco carries these in the 17" Touring spec and 16" LX/EX spec (winter downsize for Touring). With $110 discount for tires and installation, the total price is $597.92 mounted OTD (or for tires only - $140/tire = $562 full set) thru 11/1/19.

Thank you for telling me about that. Wow!!!! I'll be using my own 17" Touring wheels.


I'll go this week.

You're using 15" wheels? Will those wheels clear the Brake Rotors?

I just got my Michelin X-Ice v3 put ON using OEM Touring 17" wheels. I really hope these will get me through western-NY crazy lake-effect snow weather.

What are some of the reviewers saying about these winter tires?

I've had my Touring-trim for 3 months now and racked up 11k miles on the OEM all-season tires (summer & fall weather).
I hope these new Snow tires I just got do me well for the crazy snowy weather 😕

Wish me luck. I really hope these Michelin X-ice v3 are great as they say they are!

What is "Green X" mean on the X-ice v3 winter tire mean?

Looks sounds like a duck (cough cough gimmick)...lolol

What is CO2 in tires for Green-X?

What is CO2 in tires for Green-X?

No CO2 in the tires. They're referring to less CO2 pollution since you won't be using as much gas with efficient tires.

Okay, now I understand.

I'm pretty sure when I put in SPORT-mode, it spews out more CO2..

After driving through yesterday's snowstorm here in Wisconsin... resistance is futile !! 36mpg
On the bright note the Michelin ICE-X 3's performed very well, passed many cars in the ditches, and many driving 30 in a 55-65. Slushy wet snow and didn't get much pull from them... kept good traction.

How many miles do you have on you're Michelin X-ice v3 Snow Tires?

When are they not snow tires anymore? After 20k miles?

When are they not snow tires anymore? After 20k miles?

Aren't the X-Ice warrantied up to 40k miles?

Is that true?

I too put about ~22k miles on my Michelin X-ice Snow tires. Amazing. I never got stuck while everyone was slow.

Am I good to use these snow tires again next winter? I drive a lot. I put about 40k miles on my Insight TOURING trim in one year (142 miles round trip to work Mon-Fri)
