Nice! I'm looking to do something similar to mine!

 

[Mark307]

Looks great. Any noticeable loss in MPG?

nice, this is exactly what i am wanting to do... are those the stock size?

You can't get the stock size other than Continental, you have to go to a size up or down, 215/65-R16, 225/65-R16 or 195/75-R16. The higher the first number the wider the tire.

yeah i have 215/65R16 winter tires on my trax... i know a couple years ago i was looking at tire options in the stock size and there wasn't much if any, was just curious if people are finding more availability now or not.

The tire size, Cooper Discoverer A/T3 215-70-R60 . The gas mileage did drop 2 mpg highway and 4 to 6 city. This is the second winter for them and they go great. My Trax is frontwheel drive and it takes me all kinds of crazy places. Much better than the factory highway tires. In this time they have hardly worn any noticeable depth at all. I love them.

 

[Traxy]

Maybe it didn't drop as much as you think because you are going further than what you register with a bigger tire. When you register on your odometer 1000 miles you actually drove 1020.2 miles. You have to take into consideration that 2.02% diameter difference.

I've been thinking of getting exactly the same tires as your just for a while now because we only have a few options when it comes to all terrain tires. I just want to ask about your tire size. Is it 215/70r16's? I really want to go with 225/70r16's but I've never seen anyone put that size on their Trax. Let me know. Thanks!

I went to a tire size calculator and these are the sizes it came up with as replacements, which is a good place to start as opposed to buying something that may rub in the fenders on turns.

 

[Traxy]

A 255 may rub on the lower control arm. I went with 235/60-16 for the summer, they don't rub but are very close to the "A" arm.

 

[Montkun]

I was shocked to see the 255 listed also, but I think with the 55 aspect ratio it would leave a very slim margin of space similar to your 235's. I have no immediate plans to swap tires, but i do like the look of the AT's on the Trax. Almost reminds me of the Activ model that never actually appeared as a legit trim level.

 

[Traxy]

Probably the 255 would work with a 25mm spacer if you want to keep OEM wheels. I used a 20mm spacer for mine.

 

[Montkun]

That's a good thought for the future, since I'm still under warranty I'm going to hold off on any changes for now. But just knowing they're available makes me think of some interesting things to do with the little Trax after a while.

 

[Joeldalye1]

What if I have the 18 inch rims option. What size would I need?

 

[Traxy]

What size do you now have?
