Hello guys, long time lurking, just registered today.
Since the S550 was announce in 2014, I fall in love with the design and waas wanting to have one badly. But things happened and I could not afford it. But now, I am planning on getting a GT 2019 next year and I am planning on everything to be ready.
One thing I cannot decide is the winter setup. I am in Quebec, so we have winters with lots of snow and I plan on using the GT daily all year long.
The 2 option for now for winter that I see are the following:
1) I will have the black package, so I could buy 19" snow tire to go on the black package wheels
2) buy 18" steel wheels, tire and tpms for the winter.
Pros and cons that I see with the 2 options:
1) pros: don't have to store second set
pros: dont have to bother with tpms.
cons: damage to mags from salt.
cons: winter driving on wider tire.
cons: more costly to buy new tire after.
2) pros: keep summer wheels clean
pros: can switch wheels myself.
pros: cheaper when buying new tire.
cons: buying ans setuping tpms each time I change the wheels
Any fellow winter driver here have an opinion on that?
Does driving on 19" inch winter tire is a good idea or it is not really a good idea since the tracking is poor?
Thanks
