Just picked up a minty new 2019 GT PP1 and quickly realized the tires that come on the PP1 are not going to cut it in the winter. I'm pretty sure we're through the worst of it this year, but I'd like to start budgeting for a full set of wheels and tires that I can swap to next year. If anyone else has done the same, what would you recommend? I'm hoping to get it done for under 2000 depending on how spendy I get with the rims.
For the wheels I was looking at these:

https://www.americanmuscle.com/gt350-black-19x85-1517.html ~$720 set of 4
On the more spendy side

https://lmr.com/item/WK-188913A/sve-mustang-sp2-wheel-kit-19x10-11-gloss-graphite-15-19 ~$1200
If I were to get either of these I'd use the PP wheels during the winter and these during summer most likely.
The thing I'm not too sure on is tires.

I don't know if a full winter tire is the best choice for my needs. I live in Virginia so it never really gets below about 25 degrees and full snow/ice only happens 3 or 4 times a year.
Really just looking for input on what you guys have done. I've never bought wheels and tires before other than just replacing my tires with whatever my local shop recommended when the time came. This will be the first car I've ever had any interest in doing anything to.
