At 7 tonigth I will pich up my new Crossfire coupe an hope to have a great time with it.

I could have had it before but before buying it, I wanted to make sure I could get real winter tires and my dealer, Trois Diamants Autos, found out that Continental is now producing a 19" winter tire.

I wanted to make sure because with the cold temperature and snow we get in Qubec You have to have winter tires.

Congrat.s and Welcome!!! I know you will enjoy the car and I hope you like all the attention you are going to get.

 

Centaurv:

As soon as you have some info on the 19" winter tires, please post it!!!! They must be a brand new item, because there were none available last year.

Thanks. And have fun with your new car!!!!

 

Welcome Centaury,

Happy Driving!

 

the continental site does not even list 19" winter tires. let us all know when you find specifics on these. i would be very interested as well...

 

hopefully the 19" are real winter (snow & ice) tires, not the all season tires...

 

The Continental site is not very up to date. It doesn't list the 19" ContiTouringContact (OE all-season) either, but we know they exist. If you go to the UK site, they do have some 19" winter tires, but they don't have a 255/35/19. The closest would be 245/35/19, which is listed as being "in preparation".

also found that there are 19" Blizzaks (LM-22). however they are 255/40/19. Would these work?

 

The 255/40/19 would be about 1" taller than the OE tires. I don't know if that would cause rubbing issues, but your speedo would be off some. The 245/35/19 would only be about 0.25" shorter and about 0.4" narrower.

 

I do not have much information on them. I saw the order confirmation for the 4 tires at Trois Diamants Autos. They are not cheap 1500Can$. I Believe it was 600$ for the 2 front and 900$ for the 2 rear.

For more informations just contact my dealer by e-mail at troisdiamants@videotron.ca they could tell exactly what they are.

Good day to all.
