@River Rat is correct. You can see I listed the size I went with as well. You would have to go with 235/60/18 for the X Ice to get the XL rating. This is about -1.23% difference vs OEM diameter which is fine.

Yes, Bridgestone Blizzak is great. But are they XL, can they have the weight of the Mach-e?Although the Mach E Premium comes with 19 inch wheels (which look terrific) I decided that for the winter I would go with 18 x 8 inch downsize rims called Replika R189 Gloss Black (5 x 108 bolt pattern, 1797 lbs. load index, 45 offset, 63.4 bore), and Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 225/60R18 snow tires. I generally ski about 50 times a season and have found the Blizzaks to be great (and they have been recommended by Consumer Reports for many years). I had considered getting another set of 19 inch rims but with the increase in potholes during the winter, the 18 inch wheels with higher profile tires provides a bit more protection against bottoming out.
May be too late, but you can always ask the dealer to source a different tire. I bought the same package this week and they were shod with General Tire Altimax. Not my 1st choice, but got decent reviews. Seemed like too much of a hassle to try a swap out, but unless the wheels are already built up they should be able to put on whatever you want.
I'm not too fussed about it. The price is right for what's included. I called around and it's 20-30% less than anywhere else so I'll stick with it. Thanks for the suggestion!
My GPTE has 20" rims, and I want to be able to drive to Florida in winter, I investigated all weather options. Installed Michelin CrossClimate 2s on the original rims. Fantastic tires, not loud, didn't cost me any appreciable range and they've been great in winter.
