Snow tires on performance pack

[Stealth19]

I was wondering If I could put a full set of 265/40/19 MIchilen Alpin ap5 on my staggered setup of 255/40R19, 275/40R19, these tire are a lot more common and will make it So I can put an existing set on instead of paying 500$ per tire for a new set.

Depends on wheels width to a degree. The Tire Rack lists a width of 9"-11" for the 275s and a width of 8.5"-10" for the 255s. If it were me; I wouldn't hesitate to put 265s on your wheels. Good luck!

Here are the differences between what you have now and what you want to put on. The differences are not that great.

Why? OP wants winter tires. Did you see where he lives and his profile pic.

Because who needed studded tires, really? Contential extreme contact DSW6S+ have excellent snow and ice traction

The MIchelin Pilot Alpin 5 are not studded. But they are far, far superior to any A/S tire in extreme cold and deep snow. The Conti’s are great tires but they have their limits.

Just did a wheel/tire package with Tire Rack for about $2100 all in. Best to go square for winter.
Voxx Road Wheels Modena wheels with Blizzak size 255/14-19.

Massive difference between all seasons and winter. If you are spending the money and have summer tires, get some good winters. I was going to that, then decided to just park it and drive my old Explorer instead of selling it. I do live on a mountain and even my all wheel drive SUVs can’t get out some days without snows. Michelin and Blizzaks are my go tos. Just make sure they have the proper speed rating for sidewall strength. I had Pirelli snows on my SVT Contour and would roll the sidewall over in hard corners. Much more side profile on those.

Of, you can put that money towards moving to a climate where humans were meant to live ;-)

Not to hijack the thread here but I'm wondering if someone can help me out? I have 2024 GT with the base 18" wheels - I believe all (4) of the wheels are the same size. Is is possible to put a set of rims from the PP that came on the 24 GT's? It looks like those wheels are 19" x 9" in the front and 19" x 9.5" in the rear. Also I can can put these on my GT with the base 18" wheels could I put the same size tires on these 19" PP wheels (same size on the front and the back) so they can be rotated or would I need to have them different sizes? Sorry for the dumb questions but I have no idea how this stuff works.
