19 all season tires for turbo G

I looked around before posting this and checked out tire rack. That being said i need new tires since i have no tread on half of the rear tires.

I got a recommendation for the michalin all season but on their website nothings commings comming up but the piliot sports( summer tires). Thing is i just got my car turboed and having 400hp its hard to hook up now, and know im gonnna be f-ed for winter and wanted to know what other ppl with FI are running especially due to the limited options for 19's . i had the proxy 4s back in the day and liked them but i doubt they will be in 19's. thanks

If you don't have traction now with summer tires, switching to all seasons will only make things worse in the dry. I would seriously consider picking up a beater for the winter at this point. Turbo+all seasons=crash

Or run the best dedicated WINTER tires you can buy, put them on some 17s/18s and turn the boost WAY down.

Figures someone named "Terps" would be considering putting tires w/LESS traction on a turbo...great edumacation up there in Twerp country, LOL!!! Just kidding w/ya, not trying to flame. As a Duke alumni, I can't let the opportunity to zing a Twerp or a Tarhole pass!!! I've heard nothing but good things about the Michelin and Bridgestone All-Season tires, but there may be better/more cost effective alternatives available.

lol you should check out the video on youtube "this is why duke sucks", jk. after a lil research i dont think the 17s will clear the calipers. With the issues with vdc, 3%issue, air pressure sensor, and fitment i think i might just go with the bridestone blizzaks on the 19's for winter, and then get another set around spring. The blizzaks are only a little worse rated compared to the stocks :/
