Snow tires for 19" stock wheels?

Are there good snow tires out there that can be mounted on stock 19" wheels on a g35c?

Planning to have 2 sets of wheels.
1st set: stock 19" with winter tires = winter usage
2nd set: aftermarket high performance rim (maya/volk/etc) + high performance summer tire = summer usage

so i'm just wondering if this plan will work.

don't think the winter tire will go on the 19s that and you are going to have tire rubbing your fender for sure. Plus if they did it will be expensive

Currently 18" low profile snow tires are available and I believe there might be some 19" snow tires coming out this winter season. Performance snow tires can run you up to $200-300 each in the 18" size. I would hate to see prices for 19" versions.

I agree... (evan though 19s will no doubt be comming)

Also, they will not perform very well in the snow.
FWIW, you should be narrower in width & taller in profile for winter.
