I know this might be a bit early for some but I'd like to get an head start on winter prep if the Kia Stinger does come to market in December/January.

Lets hear your thoughts on bang for buck rubber or best rubber, cost not a factor.

Take a look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta, they have studded and non-studded versions. Used them for two seasons when I lived in Iowa and they worked very well.

Are those winter or AS ? , here in Vancouver with an AWD set up AS works well , I'm not putting snow tires on this car as a result

These are snow tires. You know if the Stinger comes with all-season or summer tires? For some reason I thought they were summer tires.

If it doesn't come with some kind of High performance all season tire, I'll be putting one on. Either from Micheline, Yokohama, Perelli, etc... I have to do some research though.

What is the smallest wheel size that can fit both the 2.0T and 3.3TT? The smaller the wheel the cheaper the winter tire set-up is.

On the GT it?s due to the Brembo brakes that may limit you to 18?. You might be able to go down to 17? on the 2.0t.

[MENTION=143]TyTimp[/MENTION] I was looking a few photos on the net and there isn't much brake clearance on those Brembos even with the stock wheels. I planning on getting 18" that are the same size and offset as the OEM wheels for my winter tires. Some good information in this thread https://www.kiastinger.org/forum/threads/47-Kia-Stinger-Stock-Wheel-Size
