Ideal snow tire size for Sport Package 19's ?

I tried to look up the stock tire size for snows and came back with nothing for the rear. I made a few guesses but would like a confirmation on the ideal snow tire size for the oem sport package 19" wheels when it comes to winter.

Thank you!

You are probably going to have to stick to stock sizes...
maybe a less wide tire could be put on the rear.

Others here may have had experience with staggered 132s
and snow baloneys. Clifton? Rt 46 and Rt 3 are always clear, ;>)

Expensive snows in that size and you have to hope the tire
gorilla is careful on the dismount/mount and again in spring.
A set of so-so 18s w/snows may be even less than the $1G
or more for a set of snows for your 132s...

I found a set of Pirelli Scoprion's Snow and Ice Locally. I may pick them up saturday. Planning on powdercoating the oem sport 19's black and using them as winters for years to come. I take trips up to VT for snowboarding and dont want anything to stop me!

Then in the spring just pick up a set of 20's like I have wanted too
