Hi all, I own a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek limited with 225/55/18 stock wheels and looking for a set of winter tires for up coming seasons. I’ve driven in snow for a couple of seasons already but don’t want to continue pushing my luck. I’m new to buying winter tires and on a tight budget though.

My cousin has a set of Michelin x-ice 245/40/18 that he would sell me for $300. He told me to go buy cheap wheelies online and put the tires on them. I used the tiresize website to compare and the diameter is about 7% smaller on the x-ice and 8% wider making it about -5mph at 70mph.

Would love to get any input, advice or recommendation on what should I do?

    For our Subaru we use Michelin CrossClimates and they’ve been great for wet and dry and surprisingly good in snow. They’re all-seasons that are snow rated.

    Thanks! I’ll look into that as well. Maybe as a next upgrade to my all-season stock tire
