So my factory dunflops are coming to the end or their useful life at 25000 miles. I was thinking that I may get a new tire and wheel package. I have read reviews on numerous tire sites, and of course read through many pages here about larger rims and tires.
I have the factory 17" wheels right now with 265/65/17 tires. I was thinking about going with a 20" rim and 265/50/20 tire. After reading through many posts on this site, it seems that the Tundra's that have 20" wheels are mainly in the southern states with warmer climates. This poses a problem for me coming from Wisconsin. It really doesn't give me a feel for how the wheels and tires may perform in the wintertime.
If anybody who lives in a state that gets a moderate amount of snow would like to chime in on tire and wheel sizing, I would appreciate it. Just looking for real life experience from anybody who has driven in the snow with larger rims and smaller profile tires. Thanks
