Winter is quickly coming, and I'm planning on putting winter tires on my PP GT. Looking for some solid winter tires for a reasonable price. Is it possible to go down a smaller width, so instead of 255 on all four going to 245!? Any suggestions on tires is helpful!

...a search on "winter" and read posts on a subject that's been beat to death already? Of course you can search that.

A 245 should fit on a 9.5" rim. It will be stretched but shouldn't have problems. I would suggest getting a cheap set of 19x8.5 wheels so you can fit a 245/45/19 nicely and not have to worry about messing up you PP rims during the winter.

I'm using 255/40R19 Hankook winter tires on my PP wheels for winter use. The rears are stretched a bit, but hardly noticeable.

You can easily fit a 245/40/19 tire all around without issues.

You have a few solid options

Michelin X-ice
Yokohama Ice Gaud
Blizzak LM-32 ( amazing)
Pirelli Winter Sotozero 3
