Thanks for the response my CX-9 is GT model with 245/50R20, if I replace it with same size Chrome will the TPM sit properly and will not have any issue? Should I keep the original or trade it, any benefits of it sitting in my garage if i will be using Yokohama Parada all season tire on Chrome rim?

Depends on how much snow, and more importantly. ice, you get. We don't get enough snow and ice to justify a second set of wheels and tires right now. That is why I chose the Paradas in the end. Best winter rating of the available tires.
If you can afford a second set, nothing beats dedicated snow tires for winter.

ab040501,
Ever consider buying it from tirerack.com?
I don't know how much (or how long) it will cost/take, but Tirerack.com ships to Canada.
Here is a quote from their website:
"All orders from Tire Rack are billed in US currency. On the day the transaction is processed, your credit card company will convert to Canadian currency using the current exchange rates and fees of the issuing bank.
Taxes and duties are collected on behalf of the applicable Canadian government agencies. No additional taxes, duties, or fees will be collected by UPS Canada upon delivery.
Delivery, though, may be delayed by customs procedures."
The Yoko Parada Spec-X 245/50R20 is $159 each (excl. S&H) at tirerack.com.

After reading other posting, it looks like my other option is to order 255/50R20 of Parada Spec-X which is available here from one of Yokohama distributor. Or wait until tires wear out and drive to Bellingham Discount Tire and replace my old tires there, and drive home with new tire no shipping to worry about.
Thanks for all the information this site is really good, especially to people like you who spend time responding question to newbie like me.

I live in the Truckee/Tahoe area and we will be in the market for STUDDED Snow tires for our 09 GT AWD Sexy9. They allow studded tires here...and we definitely need them. Our other car is a Jeep Cherokee 4WD and when we went from winter tires to Studded, I couldn't believe the difference in traction. We live at 6500 feet so I will be driving up and down a 10% grade daily. We have the 20" rims, but want to buy snows for 18" rims. We will most likely buy a second set or rims and tires as we switch to snow tires from about October/November to April/May. Any experience or recommendations on the best for 18" Studded winter tires and separate rims. (The rims don't have to be fancy since it is covered in snow for most of the season).
I will print out the list from CX9 sportowner above. But, we prefer to have our local guys order the tires/rims as they will be the ones swapping out the tires every winter (no charge
.
Thank you in advance for any help

Thanks for recs...I would be happy to get away from studs if the tires provide like traction. Yes, they do make Blizzak 20s. Okay, I went on Tire Rack and the results are as follows for recommendations for the CX-9:
20" (245/50-20): Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25; Blizzak LM-60 or Blizzak DM-V1
18" (245/60-18): Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1; Winter Dueler DM-Z2
Does anyone have any experience with any of these. And, any comments as to whether 18" vs. 20" is better for handling in snow/ice?
Thanks!

09sxy9,
You really don't need 20" since you will get extra rims. Bigger wheels serve no purpose on snow/ice and they cost more.
On the 18", the DM-Z2 is being closed out, DM-V1 is replacing it (available on 08/10).
To me, the choice seems simple. I will wait for DM-V1 if I were you.
