Winter Tires on the 20" Wheels

[peakTS]

I have a separate set of wheels with Blizzack tires for my R1. Two years ago they were pretty necessary on that Denver to Summit county trek. I got the EVSportline ones.

The snow tires weren't necessary last winter because, uh, we didn't have a winter. Hopefully the upcoming winter is better.

I have 100% confidence that aftermarket options will pop up pretty quickly for the R2. Just give it a few months.

Yeah, this last season sucked. Hopefully with El Niño this year we might get more snow than usual. We definitely need it. I’ve seen the EVSportline wheels for the R2, pretty expensive and what pushed me away from buying another set of wheels.

I'm considering these rims (about $1400 for all 4):

And then Michelin X-Ice Snow (about $1280 for all 4).

At $2,680+tax, seems pretty good.

I'd prefer getting the 20" AT wheels and putting the X-Ice on them for better aesthetics, but this would probably be 1/3rd of the price.

Interesting, they might be a good deal. They're lacking any real details, how much for they weigh and what are they rated at, but it might be a solution people are looking for.

Being in a norther state I know I'll get a winter set at some point. These may end up being a good value and if they do offer the 18" there might be some good tire options as well. At best I wouldn't take delivery of my R2 until winter is ending so I'll have some time to continue looking at my options.
