DH - Handling pack - Wet/winter tire suggestions

[kgautam28]

Apologies if this has already been answered having a rough time finding it.

Hello all, I pulled the trigger on a DH with handling pack yesterday. Comes with stock wheels as :
Front 305/30 zr19
Rears: 315/30 zr19

I'm in the PNW, we get a lotta cold rain and little snow. Will skip driving on snow or icy days but for the wet days, do you all have any suggestions on all season or winter tires that fit these rims?

Ive considered changing the wheels itself, but want to see if I can find just the tires for now?

I just did a quick tirerack search and its showing summer only tires in that size.

Michellin PS4S are not bad for occasion driving in wet and cold weather. Probably don't run in Track mode!

Change the tire size a bit and keep looking

285/35ZR19

FALKEN AZENIS FK460 A/S
Continental DWS06

Easier to just buy another set of wheels, though.

I'd check with a vendor but whatever you can find that's 19x9

So likely narrower tires to go on. Awesome

You are going to need new wheels... If you want to keep 19", get some that are not as wide... If you want to keep some width, move up to 20". Also PNW here, have Pilot Sport All Season 4 in 20" size.

Would you be able to share what rims you have. I am also interested in the pilot all season

I have the Carroll Shelby CS-3 Wheels... 20x9.5 F and 20x11 R.

Better for bad weather and cheaper tires

255/40

If you are talking above freezing then the PS4S will be fine. But prolonged driving at freezing or below can be bad. And the compound gets stiff when it gets cold and can make the tires loose grip

And you have set this up for the dark house with the handling package right?

Mine is Ecoboost with HPP, but the same wheels fit all of the mustangs.
