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

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.

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.

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.
