Is it possible to get all seasons with stock wheels?

I used the Nitto NeoGen for a little while. If you only need a tire to deal with lower temps, it works as a tire, though there are much better options. I'm currently running Michelin PS AS3+ (245/40/18) which are absolutely fantastic so far (much better than the NeoGens in every single aspect). Note that if you don't mind going outside the OEM tire size, you might be able to find some all season tires in a 245/35/20 size as well. It'll induce some speedometer error, but most users here haven't had rubbing issues with it.

Do note that 18" isn't a downgrade entirely. The suspension feels softer, yes, but you could also go the route and get a lighter set of wheels which in turn improves brake performance and response of both brakes and gas. Lighter wheels also mean less rotating mass which means less parasitic power loss which means more power at the wheels (in some cases it could be as much as 1-2HP per pound dropped).

Running a 245/35/20 Falken A/S lowered on Swift’s and it great. You do loose some grip, but I don’t drive crazy fast in winter anyway

thanks for the info I will get 245/35/20 then if there's no issue/rubbing. don't really care about the speedometer thing

looking at Yokohama advant sports.

I'm at 14k miles so it's getting pretty close to replacing time. Getting a little more sidewall gives me peace of mind as I do daily this car and encounter pot holes

and I don't want to get 18's because then I'll have to buy new wheels and my goal is to keep the car all stock/original (except tires obviously).

Zero rubbing to report
Even with adult and child in car

Has anyone every run the Atlas Force UHP AS tire in 245/30R20? Not a lot of reviews on them....The Nitto Neo Gens are getting hard to find and expensive.

Looking to pick up Continental extreme contact DWS06 plus 245/35/20 soon. Sticking with the stock wheel until I have enough saved up for Titan-7s
