Tires for G550
I need new tires for my 2016 G550. I currently have size 275/55R19 tires so I assume I need to replace them with 19" tires if I don't intend to replace my wheels. I was interested in BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires but they aren't made in 19". I'd appreciate any recommendations for a good all-season tire? I intend to use them year-round, including in the winter for snow driving in Colorado. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have the same 2016 G550. I bought these ~1K miles ago and am very pleased. However, I'm in Florida so you may want to understand winter weather impacts on these tires.

Also got the new Pirelli AS PLUS 3. Great tire. Do NOT get the continentals, had them on my 911 and they were fine, not so much on the G.
you won’t find an AT tire that fits the 9.5” 19 wheel. If you’re married to AT, downsize to 18” g550 wheels. I can sell you my set, with brand new Michelins

Thanks for the input. I appreciate the feedback and it seems the concensus is either of these tires:
Pirelli Scorpion AS:

Michelin Crossclimate SUV:

Can anyone offer any first hand experience of snow driving with either of these?

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
19's are an orphan to the AT space... and will become moreso. the Toyo At3's are impressive IMHO but only avail as pizza cutters in 19".....

I'd seriously consider 18 or 20 rims if it's a long-term hold vehicle for you - as you also will pay a premium for the not great tire options in 19"...no volume.

The Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 is also a good more street oriented all terrain tire, but only comes in one size for 19's. 255/55R19, same as the Toyo's.
On Tirerack's search, there are only a few sizes in the 19" range. 275/55R19 seems to be the most popular. Your 2 choices above seem to be the most popular.

None of the available AT tires are approved by the tire manufacturer to work on our 9.5 inch 19 inch wheel. If you don’t want to go against manufacture specs, then do not mount these wheels. If you do so, do so at your own risk. Even discount tire erroneously states that the Toyo open country AT3 will fit, but when I called Toyo directly multiple times, they told me that was a mistake.

Thanks for the replies. I purchased the Michelin CC SUV and will have them mounted up next week. I'll report back on my experience with them after a bit of driving. Unfortunately, any winter driving feedback will have to wait several months.
