We just leased a 2017 MDX Navi AWD, stock tire is 245/50R20.
We are looking for winter tires and will buy wheels for winter tires so we don't need to take tires on/off wheels.
My question is can I put on 245/60R18 winter tires/wheels on? the higher aspect ratio of the 18 makes the overall diameter only 0.1 inch different than the 245/50R20; and this is one of the option comes up when I searched in Costco, I consider 18 inch is because it is cheaper and 18 inch wheel is easy to get (I may just get the black steel wheel). Also the stock tire of Base model AWD MDX is 245/60R18.
- Any concern of my choice of 245/60R18 winter tires/wheels?
- If go to Costco instead of dealership, I know I will lose tire pressure sensor, which should be fine, other than that, any other concern?
Thank you,
Alan
