Murano 20 inch LE wheels in snow?
Murano 20 inch LE wheels in snow?
Hi,considering an LE (which only comes with 20" wheels.) Are these good in snow. This will be a winter vehicle only. Should I opt out an SL, or buy the LE and replace with18 inch wheels?

The 20's handle very well in all kinds of snow, anything from a dusting to deeper snow and ice. You will be very happy with the performance in snowy conditions!

I have a 2009 Murano LE. As far as winter weather is concerned, it has the worst windshield wipers I have ever experienced. At the first flake, they accumulate snow and ice and streak it across the window. I've also had a problem with snow, slush and ice accumulating in the rims and throwing the wheels out of balance. This in turn causes the vehicle to vibrate on the highway. I had a 1999 4Runner that was great in the snow. The 2009 Murano is not as good.
