The manual recommends Pirelli Sotto Zero in 255/35R20. load 97, and 285/30R20, load 99. Both at 36psi, 2.5 bar. Not for SVR, though.

This is exactly what I use with a separate set of winter wheels (same size as oem). Beware the sidewall is rather thin for winter, I had sidewall bubbles develop on both front tires.

There are other threads on here about recommendations for winter tyres, Pirelli isn't a hot (or cold!) favourite .....

Definitely in the early stages of winter here: Got down to 69 degrees the other night; had to break out the sweater to take out the trash.

Can't be worse than Montréal, I can tell you that.
Not sure what it will be like this winter, but currently, most every street is in construction.

It will be very, very nice once it's all done. The problem is that we will all be flying Jags by then
