Default Winter tires for 19 inch wheels?

Seems like it is very hard to find dedicated winter snow tires for Land Rover 19 inch wheels? I cannot even find the ones recommended in the Owners Manual..Has anyone found any good winter snow tires for the 19’s?

I found Blizzacks @ tire rack for both my 20" and 21" rims...I am sure they have 19's.
They were very good in snow and ice as well as snow.
Now I just stay home if it is nasty out.

Thanks, but not necessarily true. I have looked and can find Nokian, Continental, Michelin (etc) winter tires in 17,18,20, and 21” sizes. But 19” (and 22”) seems to be a unicorn. The owners manual recommends a Continental TS 850 SUV snow tire for the 19” but cannot find those either.

Thanks sir, that definitely helps. Although I have a follow up question. The 19” Defender wheels call for a 255/65/R19 winter tire. That specific tire size is not on the list, which goes back to my original question. So, can you use a slightly different size tire as long as it the 255/?/R19 remains the same?

Not sure where you are located, but I have bought 3 or 4 sets of tires from them. If you call them they know thier stuff and I have found they are the lowest price. They also have a network of shops that will mount and balence the tires. Tire rack will even ship them to the shop for you.

I actually have a set of winter tires on the stock 19 inch rims sitting in my garage ... not using them anymore. Driven less than 3000 miles and 1.5 years old. Let me know if you're interested.
