I have one set of summer tyres (18"-rims) and one set of winter SUV-tyres (16 rims). 15 or 16 rims are the best for winter-tyres. 17"-rims are usable but not optimal. 18" and 19"-rims are useless for winter-conditions.

And it take you 30 minutes to change the tyres your self.


This is interesting - could you give more details on why 18/19 rims are useless in winter?


On ice - no difference. In snow, tyres will get much better grip. Alluminum has no grip on snow, -rubber has. As easy as that.

Well, on ice there could be a difference if you have to release some of the preassure to get better grip. You have more to go on with smaller rims. But that is somewhat theoretical. Correct preassure should be sufficient. But we do have lower preassure in general in winter tyres that summer tyres, -just to get better grip. (I have 36 in the winter and 38-40 in the summer. Not a big difference) 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.
