Welcome aboard, @8star! Thank you for signing up and thank you for the picture! Your Stinger GT looks awesome! I'm glad to hear it's working out well in the snow. Germany, huh? We don't have enough members here from Germany. Please spread the word! What are people saying over there? How do people feel about the Stinger compared to the competition from BMW and Audi?

What tires did you buy ??

Where I am, the GT1 and GT2 come on 18" all-seasons. I'd have to to look to see what's on the car, to be honest. Man, I need to take some pictures...

Welcome! You said "winter tires". Do you mean the all-seasons that come with the car in some regions or did you purchase some dedicated snow tires? Nice shot!

I always use Tire Rack as a reference point when I'm looking for tire options , currently they don't list the Kia Stinger so I've sent the Customer Service Mgr a note requesteing that they add it . They did respond and it should be added soon . Then we will be able to see their recommendations for all the different tires from summer , to AS and Winters that fit the Stinger .............

Tire Rack FTW - always.

In Germany they started with test cars for the dealers 6 weeks ago. The European car newspapers are all satisfied with this beauty and its performance. They compare it with the Audi A5 and BMW 4 series and they are astonished.
Before I owned an AUDI S5 V8 - now - after 2 weeks and 2000mls - I`m also really surprised and satisfied / happy with this car - on the highway / streets / on the mountains / in snow - I like it. Lot of people going around the car in the city or petrol stations - they like the beauty.

Here we are forced by law to drive real winter tires depending on the street and weather conditions. On my car I drive 19" Pirelli - also available are Michelin in the needed different dimensions - but maybe this will not help you on the US market

I'm really glad to hear that. The Stinger has a look about it that no other car really has. It's unique, handsome, and classy. I have a feeling you'll eventually be seeing a lot of them in your area...

 

[westcoastGT]

Whats the pricing like in Germany ? ie vs a comparably optioned A5 or 440 ??

Any thoughts on the Pirelli Sottozero vs Blizzaks? Also has anyone found a rim that works well at keeping the ice and snow out of the spoke so the car doesn’t vibrate too much due to slush build up?
