So my friend has the 2012 TL FWD V6 Tech with the 17" rims.

Acura picked the very stupid size of 245/50R17.

Currently I have checked Tire Rack and Costco and the only Winter Tires that show up in the size are the horribly overpriced Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 Run Flat Tires.

I have steered him toward either the X-Ice 3's or the PA4's, however neither are available in this tire size.

What has everyone been doing for winter tires that have the FWD 17" tires?

is there any reason why he couldn't buy 17" steel rims and put 245/45r17 winters on there? or put 235/45r17's on?

Go with 225/55R17. You have a lot more options.

My winter tires are in this size.

This. That's what i'm running for snows too. I'm on honda ridgeline steelies, but i wanna get alloys down the road. Ridgeline steelies are really heavy.

Check with the dealership, and just ask them what the factory recommends for the 17" snow tires.
