19" Winter Tire Options...
I am planning on using the OEM 19" wheels for winter but browsing TireRack.com and other sites is proving to be more difficult than on other vehicles I have owned. Are there dedicated winter options for the 19" set up? I searched the archives and could not find any results directly related to the 19" staggered set.
(I understand some of you may be looking at your calendar and wondering I am shopping winter tires now it's because the last vehicle I owned had winter tires that were out of stock for six months and I had to purchase wheels and tires and tpms and expedite delivery from Germany etc. Looking to avoid this headache again.)

When I bought my car, it came with winters on the stock 19" wheels and had square 255/35R19 Nokian winter tires. Can't tell you how they handled in the winter though as I have the summers put on prior to delivery since it took a long time to get it prepped.

That's the size I used on my cls63, but I had Pirelli. Worked great, and I was only RWD.

Okay. So the square set up is the only way to get 4 corners of matching brand tires for dedicated winter. I was browsing TR and I could do a mix-match set but would prefer to do the same at each corner. Thanks for the help.

Are Pirelli Sottozero no longer offered in our sizes for a staggered setup? I had them on my e63 two years ago, and they were flawless.

I know the set up is staggered, but would it cause problems if I put 255/35/18 on all 4s?
If it was a staggered set up, I should have 35/18 in the back and 40/18 in the front!
Will this affect the 4matic by any chance? Or I must stick to the staggered set up for 18's or 19's?
