I need a new set of tires and thought I might as well upgrade to the 19's while I am at it. I am pretty sure that I am going to go with the Mich Pilot Sport A/S Plus - everything I have read on them seems positive. I need a tire that can perform in water and snow living in the Cincy area it gets nasty. SO - now I need some idea's on wheels and sites to purchase. Any help is appreciated!

Hi

I can definitely help you out on wheels. What are you looking to spend? Wheels in 19" range anywhere from $900 (Cast) - $4000 (3pc Forged).

I suggest if you are looking for something good in the snow that you use your stocks rims for some dedicated snow tires and use summer tires on the 19's. I don't think you are going to be able to find something in a 19" tire that will serve well in snow and be good for the summer.

+1 i Concur, keep your stocks for 18" dedicated snoew tires. Then get your 19" rims with Michelin PS2s!

It may help if you let us know if you have a regular or Xi model - the offsets are way different. Other than that? Yeah, I agree, keep the stocks for the winter and use the 19" for summer use only.

I love my PS2's as well, sticky as hell.

My baby with M6 off-set OEM 166's (please note that they're OEM, replica do NOT look the same):






P.S. - M-tech side skirts next week, FINALLY! Can't wait!!!!

P.P.S. - Keep 18's for Winter with snow tires and the new 19's for Summer only!
