> [@keith](#): > > @It\_s\_Me had a good idea except that at least at [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com), there are no winter tires available in that size, but they do have a verity of ice/snow winter tires available in the 215/70R16 size. They would be slightly smaller in diameter and about 3/4" narrower but should work. You speedometer may read 1 to 2 mph higher than you are actually going. > > If you need a second set of wheels so you don’t have to keep mounting and dismounting your tires twice a year (recommended), look for a set of 16" steel wheels from an Accord. They will have the correct bolt pattern, hub diameter and offset to fit your Odyssey but be about a half inch narrower to better accommodate this size tire. > > If you already have a second set of steel wheels that are the factory size for the Odyssey, this size will still work but maybe a 225/70R16 might be better. It will be ever so slightly larger in diameter but about a half inch narrower. Great tips … thanks! Yeah, I’ll probably get a second set of rims, but was thinking of just getting them through TireRack as a package with the tires. They have new steel rims starting at about $80-some each. ---

They have new steel rims starting at about $80-some each. That’s what I did for my 1999 Honda Civic after its first winter. Those rims are awfully rusty but still working fine every winter since. ---

Yep, separate rims and tires worked great for me in Anchorage. Just get great winter tires in the stock size, you’ll do great. ---

The Mustangs and Camaros you see perched atop the guard rail don’t have snow tires on them. I have only used snow tires one winter since the 70s when I had a VW bus, I put studded snows on that to stop my wife from sliding sideways off the road. She would get scared every time the wind blew, hit the brakes and slide sideways off the road and swear she never touched the brakes despite the fact that I could read the skid marks. It is hard to teach someone to ignore fear and take rational,informed action. ---

> [@oldtimer-11](#): > > MikeiNH and I have both done extensive driving In Norht Central NY between Lake Ontario and The Tug Hill Plateau in daily conditions most of the winter that would have Ice Road Truckers keeping their rigs par Great place to visit during the summer, or winter if you’re really into outdoor snow activities. I grew up in Pulaski NY - and I’ve been there when we had well over 300" of snow one year. We always considered Tug Hill snow country.
