A few good choices here. The Vredestein would be mine.

Thank you! And those can just fit straight on the stock 19 wheels with no issues?

Yes if you do not have the Performance Package. If you do then you need to go with 275’s in the back. Use the tire rack search function to show you models and pricing.

There is only one choice for the PP staggered setup but you can still put the 255’s on the rear if you want.

These are the ones I have on my car, I have the PP but these tires fit just fine on those rims. Got the first snow storm today and was sliding around a lot so I'm going to need to put some sandbags in the trunk but they're pretty good.

I just got winters for my darkhorse non handling pack which I think is the same wheel dimensions as gt pp- pirelli sotozerro II 275 rear & 255 up front.

I have had good luck for years with Z rated Good Year Eagle tires. I have not tried any of there ultra performance tires but I plan to when this car needs tire replacement. I figure Good Year has had a lot of experience making racing tires so they probably have some idea about making good street tires. I suspect the grip might not be as good as some of the other tires but I am more concerned about wear as I don't track cars or get too spirted on the street.

OP is looking for winter tires. Goodyear doesn’t really compete in this category.

They have all season so it really depends on how much winter you have. If it's more cold weather than snow, all season would do it. OP didn't list a location so it might be an option. I can probably run summer tires all year around as night time temperatures rarely drop below freezing and day time temperatures in the 60s or 70. As I garage the car, the tires will probably be warm enough for the trip to work.

I was a huge Goodyear fan for decades but with the exception of the Supercar 3’s I would no longer recommend them. It’s not that they don’t make a quality tire it’s just that there are better. For all seasons the Michelin AS4 and Conti DWS06 are the cream of the crop.
