Any recommendations on what tires work great with the G20 in the winter?

I have staggered setup

Thanks
Michelin Pilot Alpine 5. Simply the best

I recently installed Goodyear UltraGrip Performance +
Front 225/40R19 93W XL FP
Rear 255/35R19 96V XL FP

I've noticed that they are more silent and comfortable than my summer run flat tires. Will see how they work in snow, but according to reviews they should be good

This should be in the wheel/tire sub.

I got a good deal on the Blizzak WS80 because the new WS90s were about to come out. This is my second winter with them.

They perform excellent in snow, but everything else leaves a bit to be desired. They are also kinda noisy. I hear the WS90 is a massive improvement over the old model, but for the price I got these im not complaining too much

Based on reviews and a friend who has them, I just mounted a staggered set of DWS06 on my new G22. Only 300 miles on them so far but they are quiet and smooth, and have really good traction in the wet. I have not pushed them hard on dry pavement so can’t comment on dry performance. No snow yet but they should see a few snowfalls over a typical St. Louis winter. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Hi guys, just wanted to share my impressions from Goodyear ultragrip performance+

I'm really happy with tires on the snow. Very good grip while braking and cornering. If you are driving with DSC ON you have full confidence in corners. Car is very stable and with RWD driving experience is so much better and safer than I've expected.

While driving with DSC Traction it's really fun. Car goes sideways even if you touch the throttle a little bit. I have sport differential and I'm not sure how much does it contribute but it's easy and predictable to drive in snow with Traction and Goodyears tires.

An attached picture shows driving conditions we have here in Sweden.

Your car is rear RWD? And how does it drive on snow if there is a slope of 10%. Can you drive through? I mean you can also drive in steep roads or only on flat highways?
My g20 is with summer 19" pirelli pz4 summer tires and i'm thinking on buying 17" used wheels to wear pirelli sottozero 3. But i'm rwd...

You got the same winter wheels I have! I love them. The extra black spokes are almost invisible sometimes (like in this picture) and they make for a very cool effect.

FYI for everyone commenting on stock 235/255 F/R Tire size - you can go square for your winter setup, and its generally preferable for even wear and tire rotation.

My winter setup is 225 all around:

19x8 ASA GT16 BLK MACH
433MHz Tire Pressure Sensor
225/40R-19 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 XL

Going square is also much cheaper for wheels, and you'll find a lot more options in the 8" variety than you will in the others with many manufacturers. The ability to freely rotate wheels can easily you an extra season out of them too since you can go front to back, and you can't do that with the factory stagger.

I put 15mm spacers on the rear so the wheels have basically the same stance as stock for all intents and purposes - the 10mm less in front is really not noticeable with the offset the way it is.

The 19's are plenty comfortable with the LM-32 Blizzaks, and hard cornering you can definitely feel a little bit of extra "squish" in the sidewall compared to the summer performance tires. In the end are winter tires, and it is winter. . . I'm not trying to be sideways allllll the time and they provide a good, comfy balance. I've driven many dedicated winter performance tires, you really can't go wrong with any of the brands people have mentioned. The Michelin X Ice Platform is great too.

I ordered through Tire Rack and their sales team is great - you can use the online configurator and it will automatically plot known fits for the car/build. Alternatively, you can call in and their sales team is top notch - they can also float some other less common fits.

Side note - the M340 system settings have a number of "approved wheel/tire sizes," and the size I have noted actually isn't in there. . . You can go and enter "manual" tire sizes, however its a bit limited on the options and I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience "programming" the tire sizes? I've been assured that the size/ratio fits for the platform, and I do genuinely trust the customer service team from Tire Rack - the sizes noted in the system really don't account for unstaggered 19" wheels at all, which is silly - they just list staggered 19s or square 18s.
