Why do we go with 18" wheels instead of 20" for winter?
I was read tirerack.com's Winter Tech article (Winter Tech - Size Selection of Winter Tires / Snow Tires) and never gave it much thought, even after owning 18" winter wheels since last winter, why we get 18" instead of 20". With the 19" Rays, I can clear my driveway if I go slow enough, but now on the 18s I can't clear no matter what. I'm having small scraps on roads that I frequent a lot that I didn't before. My traction is obviously better for the winter/snow but I'll be plowing much easier with the lower clearance. Why wouldn't it be better to have 20s instead so there's even more clearance than the Rays.
Btw, I'm not lowered.
