I have a 2008 Cx-9 GT AWD and at 23k need some new tires.

The reviews seem to be favoring the Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires for summer and winter driving conditions like we face here in Chicago but tirerack and every where else I seem to look seems to have the 245/50/20 on back order.

So has any one else made the switch to 255/50/20?

And how do they look? And do they handle well in the rain, snow, ice etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated~Brian
 
If you plan to keep the rig for 5 more years, I would suggest getting Winter dedicated tries and then putting the originals back on in the spring if they will get you through next summer (2011).

Blizzaks will last 5 years then in two years (2012) get summer tires you need.

Winter tires will extend the life of your normal tires and give you better traction inthe winter. Win/win
