Winter tires for 19" wheels

ZOHVI · 11-11-2014, 10:50 PM

Hey guys I've been searching around but Im still having trouble finding a set of winter tires for my 19" VMR 710s. I have a staggered set up right now on my e92 and Im wondering which tire size would be the best set up for icy conditions. Is it best and most cost effective to go with a square set up on the 19s? If so which tire size and brand should i go with? I was looking at the Blizzak WS80's but can't find them in the sizes i wanted on the 19's. Thanks a bunch!

LM25s in 225/40 F and 255/35 R would be your best bet. They're pricey though!

How wide are your wheels?

My 2c. A set of 19" winter tires will cost almost as much as a set of 17" tires WITH rims. The cost of getting the 19" mounted and balanced will eat up all the savings making it a wash price wise but the 17" set will perform better in the snow and be much less likely to get damaged by winter potholes. Plus once the tires wear out they will be cheaper to replace.

Edit: Plus you can get the WS80 in 225/45/17 without issue.

I would agree with this. There is not a great or economical winter setup for those 19"wheel sizes on this car this season. Best to minus size to 17" or 18"

^+1 better off performance and price wise plus mounting and balancing is free if you get wheel and tire set you save since money there.

Thanks a bunch guys! so a set of 17s off that link should fit around the brakes of an e92 sports package with no issues right? I think i may just do that
