Hi Forum,
I just bought a new Glacial White Pearl 2025 Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Line AWD (well, two months ago).
All is well so far, but it's snowing and icy in Michigan and I'm ready to get some new snow tires. I plan on keeping/using the stock 20" wheels, but want to get taller tires. Aesthetically I don't like how the tires/wheels look small compared to the body and wheel wells. I understand that there could be some downsides: tire rubbing, a difference in the speedometer, and possible acceleration/braking issues. I don't care. Okay fine, I care a little, but am willing to live with modest trade offs.
My current tires are 245/50-R20, and I'd like to go to a 245/60-R20 (a ~2" total diameter increase). Either that or a 255/55-R20 (a ~1.5" total diameter increase). I don't think the in-between size, a 245/55-R20 (a ~1" total diameter increase) exists for a snow tire. Also, I don't want to do a lift or add spacers (I'm not increasing the width, anyway).
Is anyone else in this forum running one of these wheel/tire size combos, a 245/60-R20 or a 255/55-R20? If so, how is it working and do you have any pics?
Thanks,
Mark
