    Enjoy!!!

    If you are like me, I sold my 22" rims and downgraded to 20" rims because it was very difficult to get good winter tyres at a reasonable price for 21" rims.

    I haven't looked for a while now, but I also wanted AT tires rather than street tires, so I "downgraded" to 20" rims for summer and winter, and I don't regret it!!

    Hope you like your D5!!

    Out of interest... I'm confused by the fact that the 20" rim takes a 255 and the 21" rim takes a 275 tyre.

    Do I have this right? What's with the different widths?

    I run 275/55-20 winter tires and 255/60-20 ATs in summer.

    I'll switch to 255/70-18 this summer though.

    Could be on the 21's they chose more volume to mitigate road noise and provide a little more resistance to road damage with the shorter sidewall.

    Car arrived and snow chains are ready to be picked up. I'll have 21" snow tyres / wheels on and so I got the Konig K Summit XXL K77's, so they fit on the front of the wheel like a spider, rather than having to wrap around the back. I hope I got that right!
