Snow tires for 21" wheels?

[mwexler2]

I like the look of the 20" AT's best... just have a 360 mile commute to our mtn house... so range is an issue. how does the range of the 21" tires compare?

At 360 miles you have to charge once, regardless of wheels. And with a mountain home, ATs seem the obvious choice (with snow tires in the winter if appropriate).

you'll need to charge no matter which wheels you get. probably should just do the 20's then...

It’s so much easier having your snow tires on different wheels even if there are appropriate 21” snow tires. I’m planning on doing the (free) 21s for 3 seasons and aftermarket 20s with snow tires for ski season. Cost should be about the same as the up charge for the 20s, assuming you didn’t get the free 20s upgrade for LE. That’s two sets for the cost of one.

Yes you can put winter tires on the 21s and several owners have done it. Nokian even recommends one on their site. The catch is it’s a slightly different size at 275/50 R21

Additional info to that great link for those new to Nokians: you can order pretty much all the studded models with no studs, including the Hakka 10 in 275/50R22.

Load rating is lower than OEM on the currently available Nokians in 21.

That means a smaller diameter tires, yes?

Wouldn't it be cheaper and more reliable to have a different set of rims? Mounting and removing every 6 months wouldn't be very good for rims and tires I imagine. Not to mention expensive.
