For those living in snowy areas - do you feel the ground clearance is high enough? Have you ever got stuck in snow even with good winter tires?

Chicagoan here.

Nope. I also have the Aimgain lip kit and RX F sport wheels, paired with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires.

Zero issues to date.

Far better than the factory 18" Bridgestone runflats. Those tires made driving in the winter like it a hockey puck on an ice rink.

Thanks so much, Tofuprod. I'm up in Canada where it normally snows quite a bit, and I park outside. I'm at the mercy of a contractor clearing our parking lot, and sometimes have to leave before that's done. So good to know that the 6 inch clearance seems to be enough, and thanks for the tire tips. Much appreciated!

I’m in Alberta, Canada. I have no issues in the winter time with my Michelin Pilot Alpin RFT winter tires in a 225/55R17 on aftermarket rims. I’ve taken my UX through the mountains many times, up to the ski hills, on backroads with deep snow. The grill will fill with snow but nothing a little wash can’t get rid of.

Thanks Kato23UX! I'm in eastern Ontario, so no mountains, but we can get a decent snowfall. Thank you for your reply - it inspires confidence. And good to know about the winter tires you're using. Much obliged!

Great little machine in the snow , the AWD system works very well , i tried numerous time to make it BREAK loose , but the AWD and traction control do a fantasctic job of correcting my attempts ... ;-)

Kato23UX

No worries.

here’s the UX in its winter setup.

Wow, that's great to know. Very reassuring. Thanks a bunch for sharing, Don64!

Wow - that's a beautiful machine! Looks really great! Here's hoping I get one before the winter! Thanks for sharing, Kato23UX

Does anyone know if a 17" wheel (17x7.5) with an ET of +33 will fit on a 2024 UX250H?
Thanks

It'll fit - I run 20x8.0 +30 offset (OEM RX F sport wheels)and it's fairly flush with the fender area. I only rub on super hard dips but still get full corner lock at lower speeds without issue.
