snow tire size question
I am very confused with snow tire size for my GL350. My OE tire is 275/50R20. But the snow tire for the same wheel is 275/45R20. Should they have the same size for the same wheel?
Thanks,
Feng

I think the problem is there are limited tires in the OEM size. You are probably getting quoted a snow tire in a size close to the OEM size. Here's a snow tire thread from last year. I'd love to put 18" Goodrich tires mentioned in the thread.
