I'm a total newb here on the forums. We are on the verge of picking up a CX-9 and I have an odd question about tires...
I've had a Fe Toyota trucks and other SUVs (pathfinder) over the years and have always found that the BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires are the bees knees. Great traction in all conditions, long wear, not TOO loud, and just overall stellar tires. I took a CX-9 ou Thor a test ride today and there is plenty of snow in Colorado. The car was slipping all over the place. I drive fairly aggressively and am very comfortable in snowy conditions ( even took a winter driving course in Steamboat some yers back on an iced-over track)- anyway, I'm wondering what it would take to get the BFGs on the CX-9. They don't make them in the 20" size- I think their biggest is an 18? Maybe 19? So, obviously, I would need new rims. Has anyone done this? I don't have the first clue of where to start. Or maybe I'm being silly and there's another comparable tire that would work well on the stock rims?
Open to ideas and suggestions. Thanks.
