Excellent. TY
Where are you located?
Hey, I went with Tire Racks recommendation ,wheel and tires ( 18 inch Pirelli run flats) for my 2019 AWD GT and am very impressed with them ,really have not had too much deep snow the one (so far )6 inch wet snow was easily driven thru, the every day driving on winter pavement was very good ,more than I expected
Which Pirelli's did you get?
Sottozero3 run flat 225x18 all 4
A narrower tire is going to cut the snow better than a wider tire. A 225/40 will fit on the 8.5" wide OE wheel; might look more stretched of course, but how much will .5" wider make visibly? And in the Great White North most of the time barreling through snow who would notice anyway?

Really doesn't matter much. You aren't going to be cutting through feet of snow trying to get down to traction with a stinger or any other low car. Seriously, snow will be piling up on the front fascia long before skinny tires would be beneficial. For a higher vehicle, then narrower tires can get you more penetration and the ability to drive through some deeper snow, but IME, this really isn't a thing with these types of cars. The only thing you do going much narrower is decrease overall traction, as in other situations you rely on contact patch and when it's smaller, there will be less traction. You wouldn't want crazy wide, but anything 225-255 should be perfectly fine. No reason to be going to 205 or something like that.
According to TR and various manufacturers, 225 is well within the size profile of 8.5 rims, as in "green zone". I think it helps to stiffen the sidewall more and it's what you really want for performance driving, except you want wider wheels, but you want the tires to not be going the other way, sticking out, because you'll get collapsing sidewalls easier. 225 still works on 9", but it's outside the "optimal" range there. It'd probably start looking stretched there and especially any rim size above that.A narrower tire is going to cut the snow better than a wider tire.

can you put a 225/45/19 on the stock 2022 rims? Would a 235/45/19 work as well on stock rims? sorry for the noob question. I have not had to buy tires in a very very long time.
Stock tires are Pilot Sport 4S, 225/40/19 on front, 255/35/19 rear. Looks like 19x8 front, 19x8.5 rear.
