*****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

The RWD only comes with the 19" summer tires. The AWD can come with either the summer or all season tires. If you elect the all season tires, then you get the 18" rims with the 130mph speed limit.

I ended up getting the 19" summer tires, now wondering whether not they'll get me through winter in DC as a daily driver

Well, I've got the summer tires with me here in Illinois/Iowa and she's doing fine in the snow.

Michelin was adamant that the Pilot Sport 4 tires that came on my GT2, AWD Stinger loose traction in cold temperatures (below 45 degrees) and that the tires are prone to failure at those temperatures.

I'm glad you have not had a problem, but it doesn't mean it is safe or advisable to ignore Michelin's warnings (confirmed to me by Kia).

Besides the safety risks... anything below 30 can marble/crack the PS4 Tires. Those f?rs are like $280 each. I bought winter performance tires and rims to protect my summer tires as much as being safe.

Max Performance Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

100% AGREE I bought the car in February and the first thing I did was swap my tires to some DWS06 All seasons!

average temperatures in DC don't really get down to freezing, but December - March does sometimes dip down below 40. the car is also garaged on both ends of my commute generally, wouldn't head out in snow or until roads were cleared & treated



I went to a local tire shop (NTB) and they suggested I didn't really need to worry about it, just drive carefully and see how it goes... but still kinda leaning back towards putting Michelin Pilot Sport a/s 3+

Interesting... because Canadian 2018 Stingers come with UVO Intelligence remote start, locking, etc. American cars don't have this?

Wish we did but we don?t have SIM support so we don?t get those cool features
