Default Pirelli Discontinued Some 18 Inch Winter Tire Options

Snow tires in 18 inches have been getting harder and harder to find. I've run my 4S with various brands over they year but, as far as I know, Pirelli was the last manufacturer to support 18 inch wheel lovers. I couldn't find any last season and I noticed the Pirelli website finally delisted 18 inch 235/40s and 295/35s from the N-rated Winter SottoZero II. The world has gone big wheel crazy.

I guess time to buy some 19" wheels and get some new winter rubber. I've been happy with the Pirellis. I get traction up in the mountains but can still push hard in the foothills. Is anyone else running 19" snows with alternate brands?

That's unfortunate... I'm running Conti DWS06 A/S on 18s year round. Kind of squishy in the summer, but they're comfortable and I don't worry as much about colder temps. I ran the SottoZeros for years as dedicated winter tires. They are great.
