Hey guys, I have a 2020 MDX with the tech package so it had the 20” diameter wheels with a 8” wide rim. I hate the skinny 245 tires and was wondering if 265/45R20’s would work fine on these wheels. 1010tires recommended either 265/45R20’s or 265/50R20. If anyone has pics that would be great too. I plan to put Continental Conti4x4 all seasons on

I dont think you read the results correctly.
1010 is recommending those tire sizes on a minimum width of 8.5" wheel

Go to continentals website, look up the tires your interested in and you will find the min and max rim width. When I went shopping I could not find ANY mfg that listed an 8" rim for a 265/45 or 265/50. Since I wanted the Conti DWS-06 I went with a 255/45 which is listed for an 8" rim. the 255/45 is slightly smaller diameter than the stock tires so I get a few mph error at 60mph or so.

Widest you can go is 255/45, thats the setup I have on my 2018 Tech Hybrid. Also any 265 series tire is usually more expensive than a 245 or 255 width.

I'm still searching for a set of Aspec wheels but so far nobody wants to give them up

yup, us also. Currently I'm running Conti DWS-06 size 255/45-20. IMHO a better tire for overall handling than the stock tires. DWS-06 has been my favorite tire for many years and the DWS before that. Tread life suffers compared to factory tire and does have a bit more road noise, but overall for what we want in tires it fits the bill perfectly. Now if I had the 8.5" rims, then the 265/45 would be the choice. And yes, when I was checking the 265/45 DWS was substantially more expensive than the 255/45.

I'm another person that picks the Conti DWS 06 as my tires on my last 3 Acura's. Really disappointed my 8" rims can't take the 265/45/20 Conti tires (245 look too skinny on my MDX). I have 21,000 miles on my OEM tires and probably upgrade the rims to 8.5" and go with the 265 Conti when I'm due for tires.

So as one data point - I have a '19 Adv with the 265-45R20's (michelin) on the 8.5" wheels. If I compare those to either the stock 20" wheels/tires on my older '17 Tech, or even with the winter snow tires (245-65R17) on the Advance - the 265's are VERY sensitive to road conditions - specifically crowning or road slant. At first I thought it was the alignment being off, since the tires felt like they were hovering over the road. But an alignment check found it spot on, and the first time I put the winter wheels/tires on the '19 the behavior settled down similar to my '17 Tech. I'm not sure if it's the Michelins that come stock on the Advance - or simply the width of the wheel/tire setup. But while they do corner well, you do have to work a bit harder to keep it straight in normal driving. Just my $.02....

265 on an 8" inch rim isn't ideal, but I don't see why you can't squeeze them on. I have 285s on my GX470 stock wheel.

265 50 19 on 2014 over 100k miles never noticed anything different from stock!

You didn't search hard enough, lol just picked these babies up for under 1k. Removed from a brand new 2022 A-Spec installed Conti LX 25 - 275 45 20.

Thanks for posting up this pic! They give a refreshed look to our MDX
