    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

I have a 2015 ultimate 3.8 AWD. Also have a set of good snow tires from a previous vehicle....235/50x18. The dealer thinks they will work but not 100% sure.
most specs are quite close. overall diameter is 27.3 vs genesis 26.7.

Would like to know if someone has personal experience before I go through a change. If they work I will probably buy a set of wheels/tire pressure monitors too.
thanks
Mike
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I'm running 235/50/18 Blizzak WS80 on my factory 18's. I'm also lowered on ARK springs. No rubbing issues what so ever. I have been running that size for the past 2 other winters with no issue. This is the first year with the car lower.

perfect glad to hear that it will work. So it sounds like you have your regular tires taking off and the snow tires put on your original Wheels each year rather than buying separate Wheels dedicated to the snow tires. I plan on probably doing separate so I'm going to have to get another set of wheels, probably oem, and TPMS sensors
 
Check fitment out at Tirerack.com. Or call them and tell them you have tires and considering buying wheels. They are great in customer service.
