Snow tires on PP1

Hows it going. What do I need in order to put snow tires on a PP1 car? Do I need different wheels or is there an all season that will fit on these wheels.

Not sure if there are snow tires available to fit on those wheels -- if you know the wheel size, you can go on Tire Rack; look up Snow Tires; make a guess on a size that might be close, then look at the 'specs' tab to see the recommended wheel rim width for that tire. If the tire needs a wider wheel than you have, choose a narrower tire; if the tire needs a narrower wheel than you have, choose a wider tire and then look at the wheel rim width again. Repeat until you find a tire that fits your wheels. Hope that makes sense.

I think a better solution, but a bit more expensive, would be to buy a set of narrower winter wheels. For snow tires, you want the narrowest tire that you can get and will fit on the wheels. I would look for used take-off wheels, in whatever is the narrowest width that will clear your brakes; not sure but I'm guessing that would be 9" wheel.

Aren't you in Vegas? So are your really going to drive that beast in the snow? Or are you just looking for a good tire to run around in the colder weather? Tell us the why, and you will likely get better suggestions (and surely someone, not me though, will roast you. )

Looks like Michelin makes a Pilot Sport All Season 4 that will match the 2018 OEM tire size (275/40R19) on a PP1.

EDIT: Just noticed that your two listed cars are sold. Even the brand new one you just got. So, what are your driving now?

maybe a wheelbarrow with PP1 wheels on it? LOL

275 is way too wide for snow, if there will be any actual snow driving involved ... can't wait to hear the rest of this story ...

I moved to IL a coupe of years ago and I am looking at a used PP1 Car. I looked a while back for all season tires and didn't see any listed for PP1 wheels. I figured I would need some wheels to go along with the all season tires. I figured you guys would have the answer

You can get aftermarket winter rims. I suggest getting the smallest rim and narrow tire if you can. I am running 18x7.5" aftermarket rims with 215/55/18 winter tires on my 2014 Mustang with GT500 Brembo brakes (6 pistons) with 1.25" adapters up front. See post #12 for your reference:
https://themustangsource.com/forums/...wheels-546345/ The rotor offset is the only difference between the newer Mustang Brembo brakes and the 2013/2014 GT500.
