Nissan Rogue and Kicks Winter Tire Guide: Sizes, Costs and Ontario Insurance Savings

Nissan Rogue and Kicks Winter Tire Guide: Sizes, Costs and Ontario Insurance Savings

Posted on October 30, 2026

Buying winter tires starts with one number: your tire size. The 2026 Nissan Rogue and 2027 Nissan Kicks each use several factory sizes depending on the trim, and getting the right one is the first step to a set that fits, works with your vehicle’s systems and stays within budget.

This guide lays out the factory tire size for every Rogue and Kicks trim, explains what drives the cost of a winter setup and shows how Ontario’s winter tire insurance discount can help offset it. Use it as a checklist before you shop.

At a Glance: Rogue and Kicks Factory Tire Sizes

Your exact size is also printed on the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle and on the tire placard inside the driver’s door frame. Check it before you order.

Sizing Your 2026 Nissan Rogue

Every 2026 Rogue uses a 235 mm-wide tire, with a 17-, 18- or 19-inch wheel depending on the trim. The S and Rock Creek share the 235/65R17 size, which keeps tire choices wide and simple for those two trims.

The Rock Creek leaves the factory on all-terrain tires. Those are a different product from a dedicated winter tire, so Rock Creek owners still benefit from a separate winter set.

Each Rogue also brings winter-ready hardware that works with your new tires:

• Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with a five-mode drive mode selector that includes Snow mode
• 1.5 L 3-cylinder VC-Turbo engine with 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque
• 209.5 mm of minimum ground clearance
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System with direct sensors at each wheel and Easy-Fill Tire Alert

Sizing Your 2027 Nissan Kicks

The 2027 Kicks lineup uses three tire sizes. The S rides on 16-inch wheels, the SV, SV Premium and Rock Creek use 17-inch wheels, and the SR and SR Premium step up to 19-inch wheels with a lower-profile 225/45R19 tire.

Every 2027 Kicks uses a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine with 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. Models with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive add a Snow mode, which pairs well with a full set of winter tires. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy-Fill Tire Alert is standard on every trim.

What Drives the Cost of a Winter Tire Setup

Tire prices change often and vary by brand, so the smartest move is to understand what pushes the total up or down. These are the main factors for Rogue and Kicks owners.

Wheel and tire size. Larger wheel diameters and lower-profile tires, such as the 19-inch sizes on the Rogue Platinum and Kicks SR, usually cost more than 16- and 17-inch sizes.

A dedicated set of wheels. Mounting winter tires on their own set of wheels means each seasonal swap is a simple wheel change. Reusing your factory wheels avoids buying a second set but means the tires are remounted and balanced each season.

TPMS sensors. The Rogue and Kicks use direct sensors in each wheel. If you add a second set of wheels, ask a service advisor about sensors so the system keeps working all winter.

Storage. The tires you take off need a place to live for the season. Some owners store them at home; others prefer seasonal storage.

Ontario Insurance Savings

Since January 1, 2016, Ontario has required insurers to offer a winter tire discount on eligible private passenger vehicle policies. Each insurer sets its own amount and the dates the tires must be installed, so call your broker before you buy.

The Ontario government tells drivers to look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Buying tires with that marking, in a full set of four, puts you in a strong position to claim the discount every winter.

Which Winter Setup Fits Your Nissan?

Use your trim and driving habits to pick a direction:

No matter which route you take, match all four tires in size and type, as Transport Canada recommends, and check your pressure often once the weather turns cold.
