Thanks for the info.The OE size is 255/45R-19. If you go a little wider, i.e. 265/45R-19 these should fit. If you go a little taller, i.e. 255/50R-19 the tires should still fit.
The safest option would be to stay off the road when there is snow and ice in the forecast; that's what I do.Thanks for the info.
I'm mostly interested in safety, would one of these choices be safer than the other?
Those could work; An R speed rating is quite low; in real world driving you would never drive beyond the tire maximum speed rating of 106 MPH but the sidewall would flex more than with an H or V rated tire so handling might be less precise. The tire size comparison tool shows these as 29" in outer diameter versus 28" for the OE 19" tires. The speedometer readout would read low by approximately 2 MPH; not critical.FYI, Discount Tires does have these, so maybe that is my best bet?

What is the load index rating? (Should be 104 (1984 lbs per tire) minimum).On the phone now with Discount Tire for:
Michelin - Pilot Alpin PA4
Tire Size: 265/45R19
Tirerack.com has the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec (Porsche) in size 265/45R-19 105V XL, on close out for $280/tire (At least for my zip code.)Discount Tire couldn't get them in that size. Still looking, how would these work? Very similiar in size, though I would need to buy rims...

Starting to wonder if I just need to give up on winter tires for this year
FYI, Discount Tire did not recomand the 255/50 R19, they said the 265/45 R19 would fit better, but than couldn't find any in that size
They do for my zip code, but I was worried if they don't fit (i.e. rub some where) it would be difficult to returnTirerack.com has the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec (Porsche) in size 265/45R-19 105V XL, on close out for $280/tire (At least for my zip code.)
If you search the forum(s) for 265/45R-19 you will find some who have fit this size winter tire to the Model Y with no fitment issues.They do for my zip code, but I was worried if they don't fit (i.e. rub some where) it would be difficult to return
No, he just said he had someplace to look it up, and it didn't show up as a match for Y Long Range. He said the 265/45R-19 showed up twice, one place said it fit, the other place said it didin't, he wasn't sure why it would be in the database twice. He couldn't find any that size locally. I could have gotton that size from Tire Rack, but his answer about it being in the database twice made me nervous about getting that size online.Did the Discount Tire representative say why the 255/50R-19 would not be a good fit?
