| Michelin Cross Climate for 255/50 r20 not available...? |
|
Thought I might swap my 19" rims with Michelin Cross Climate for 20" and get the same tyre but they are not available in the usual 255 50 r20 size.
I know some have gone for 265 45 r20. Do you notice much difference in the way the car handles? I know it's not exactly a sports car but it can be quite alarming how it handles sometimes (mainly due to my driving) so don't want to make it worse!
Is there an equivalent all weather (and I mean all weather conditions) tyre similar to the cross climate that anyone has used in the 255 50 r20 size?

Interesting review...
I am not expecting winter tyre performance from an all-season.
The Michelin CrossClimate has been great in the snow, certainly far far better than the experience I had in the Goodyear Wranglers. It would be interesting to see how the Verde perform in the snow and ice.
