Tire swap question

2112 Views 7 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  theescaperoute
I'm thinking of buying some snow tires for my rims and making them my permanent winter rims, then buying some new 17 or 18" this summer.

My question: can I take my stock tires that have about 70% tread left (235/70/R16) and put them on my gf's Hyundai Santa Fe that currently has size 225/70/R16 tires? I realize they will be 10 mm wider but I assume this should be ok?

Additionally, has anyone had any experience with any of the following tires:

Michelin X-Ice xi2
Bridgestone Blizzak
General Altimax Arctic

Obviously the General's price point is attractive, but I am definitely considering all three. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!!

I think the TPMS can be added to aftermarket wheels. I have been looking (casually of course) and can not find where I read that. Maybe in a magazine. I at first thought it was on another Ford site...now I don't know. :shrug: :doh: If I find it, I'll post it up. As for what it does...turns on your dash light.
