Rolling Nokian Happ 2 on my Sentra until this year. Now rolling Conti Viking Contacts. Got Happa 9 on my Rogue. All non-studded since I park in underground parking lots

I’m thinking of getting these, how do you like them?

Anyone have any luck finding wheels that match the specs we are seeing on this site (18 or 19x7, 47 offset, maybe 5x108)? Don’t know much on the subject, would a 18x7.5 or 18x8 be ok? Load ratings also seem to be a problem.

19x7 are going to be hard to find. 19x8 is very common, and I think it will work fine. But we won't know for sure until somebody tries it.

I had Pirelli Scorpion Winter tires on my Taycan last winter. In January/February/March I drove that for 11,000 miles (across the TransCanada highway to Vancouver, south to San Diego, east to the Florida Keys, and north home in Maine). Highly recommended. I saw temps from -10° to 80°F. Snowstorms, ice covered roads, heavy rains, and blue skies. Always great traction. And even after lots of miles in warmer weather, more than half the tread left.

tl;dr: If you drive in Snow, Get Snow Tires.

Please do not do this. You did not have good traction in the heat, and were in fact a danger to others.

The car could still pull over 1.0G laterally or longitudinally. I don’t think I was “a danger to others”.

Would I drive on those tires in 115°F in Summer in Arizona? No. I wouldn’t.

That leaves $100,000 for food. And cat toys. And diesel for my RV.

or a second Mach-E and still have money for food, cat toys, and diesel for your RV

Yeah, but my cat died before I could teach him to drive. So I only need one Mach-E. Though, I suppose I could give one away as a gift.

your replacement cat could be Toonces.

What about all weather tires that are snow rated? I see TFL put Michelin Cross Climate on their model Y but I can’t find the proper size for the Premium 19 inch Mach-e wheels. Trying to find a set that fits and has low rolling resistance and is rated for the weight of the Mach-e.

I think you need the "crossclimate SUV" tires:

Fine. Not the best on dry road. But we don't see much dry from December to March.
