That's exactly what I did. Thanks for the tip. Got a heck of a deal on the Nitto 555r2 on of all places amazon. By applying for their Prime credit card they took $100 off and then another $60 for some other thing I'll never use. Totaled $616 at checkout and free shipping.
Got some 305/45r17 555r2s on ebay for 508 bucks free shipping. I have actually had pretty good luck finding tires on ebay when others have been backordered. Can usually find really good deals too.

For the OP, if the goal is to run the PP wheels everyday and just want improved traction then throwing on some 275/40r19 DRs will help a bit, but the ones that have better grip are going to be pretty bad / not great in inclement weather. if its just something for certain occasions (i.e., track day, mexico, weekend car, etc.) I would find some cheap 17x10 wheels, get a set of 305/45r17s, and drop the tire pressure a little bit. I actually had some 275/50r17s on SVE 17x9 wheels that cost like 300 for the set and could hook from a dig on street at around 630ish whp.

I checked ebay but nothing in my tire size. I use ebay quite often.
