    Got a 2026 XLE AWD to replace my 2009. Question for the hive mind on what size tires for winter driving. The XLE has 19" wheels and the LE has 17". I was thinking of getting 17" wheels and a 225/55R17 snow tire which would be the same 26.7" diameter. Just wondering if anyone has done this and how was the ride vs the 195/50R19 OEM tires. Also any suggestions for a winter steel wheel source?
