So I'm looking in purchasing winter tires for this upcoming winter for my just purchased 2010 MDX.

I'm thinking going with 17inch. Dealers says tire sizes should be 235/65/r17.

But looking on tirerack, they suggest 245/65/r17 instead of 235/65/r17 .

So what do you guys have? and which winter tires are you rocking your MDX with?

Thanks

I would check with another dealer. Tirerack is usually pretty good about these things. Dunno where you are located but of all our cars, the heavy MDX is the one where I think I can get through an NJ winter with good all seasons and not winter tires.

I would go with tire racks suggestion, they have very knowledgeable staff.


I just purchased a set of yokohama ice guard ig51v running off 09 mdx wheels 255/55/18

@dzionny_dzionassi- wow thats pushing at least $1K in tires alone with that size

Currently I have Blizzak LM25s on my Benz ( used 1 season in early 2014). They work well. I cannot really tell any difference between the Blizzaks and the all season Conti Pro Contacts that were OEM. 255/40/18

I just installed cheap Falken Eurowinter 449s on my SC430 convertible. For what I paid, I am pretty satisfied. Very minor vibration at 45 mph, very solid at 75-80 mph. Very slight increase in road noise but you really have to be looking for it to notice. Cornering performance is about in line with previous all season tires ( Conti Extreme Contact DWS ). 245/40/18

I bought OEM disks from demo car on ebay and set of Nokian tires. For advance 19 inch only Nokian, Bridgestone and Yakohama are available now. I had Bridgestone Blizzak for 2 seasons on my other car Honda Pilot 2011. They are too noisy and don't last at all, have to change them for Micheline this year. I like Micheline Xi2, but there is no 19 inch size of them. Yakohama... I don't know anything about.
I was waiting for Nokian R2 come with this size. Very nice for now, low noise and was very good on light snow/ice.

And... I want to say about tire rack. They send me tires on rims with water inside for my 2011 Pilot. Honda was able to fix it. 2 private shops told me that my car had vibration not because of the tires. They also don't work with Nokian. I bought my Nokian at simpletire. Took 4 days to get them.
I don't work for Nokian, simpletire, honda, acura......

SP Winter Sport 3D in 255/55/18 on base 2010 MDX. Handling is relatively good for a winter tire but tread does have some noise and vibration (just barely noticeable).

Yokohama iceGUARD iG51v looks promising to me (and they're cheap).

I picked up a set of Michelin Xice Xi3 from Tire Rack with a set of MSW wheels for my TL and love them (went down to 17" on this one). I was looking at the Yoko's as well but they were out of stock by the time I got around to buying. Buy with confidence from Tire Rack; I've bought from the before and would buy again.
