Default Recommendation for Winter tires

My 2010 has Michelin Pilot sports. Any recommendations for winter tires? TireRack has nothing in the right sizes.

A GT3 in the snow - now that would be a handful!

Don't want to drive in snow or ice. Just want tires that will have traction <40. Guess my best bet is "all season?"

There's not much you can do for either snow or all season in the rear 19" sizing. The car has a 12" back wheel, so 305/30 or 315/30 would need to be the tire sized used, and all available tires are summer or race tires.

If planned a bit sooner, you could have done an 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 11 OZ Challenge wheel (they would need to be ordered from Italy) and a a 235/40 and 295/35 18 Pirelli 240 SottoZero S2 snow tire.
