Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Why not winter tires on the stock 19" rims??

Guys - I have a 2011 base coupe with the sport package. Why not just change the stock summer 19 inch Potenzas out for an all season tire or winter tire of the same size?? I'm trying to save the money/hassle of buying new winter wheels that may or may not fit. I live in CT and snow is coming probably sooner than I like.

I know the prevailing wisdom is to change out the 19's for 18's with a narrower tire but will it really make that much difference??

Thanks!
