You’re golden.
That tire is going to be a bit of a waste on the wider wheels, so if they’re your winter fitment and you have OE 19” wheels, I’d put the Pirellis on those and save the Enkeis for a summer fitment.
Got another set of the Conti LX25's late August. Was happy with the first set. There were rebates on the Conti LX25's and the PirelliScorpion AS plus 3. Based on my research I didn't think I found enough difference to go with the PirelliScorpion AS plus 3 and the Conti LX25's had a better...
That makes sense. I'll add that lowering pressure slightly can give some tires more "bite" in snow, specifically those with aggressive "sidewall-tread" designs like Falken Wildpeaks or PirelliScorpion A/T Plus tires.
I was shopping for replacement 19" tires and noticed that Tires-Easy.com have a $200 coupon off a set of PirelliScorpion AS Plus 3 tires. That took them down to $216 each for me including tax, shipping, and installation. YMMV depending on state taxes and local installation fees.

@Charmer383 , have you ever considered a separate set of dedicated winter tires?
Your two listed picks of Conti LX25's and PirelliScorpion AS plus 3 are tops of the leader board. We had the LX25 and loved them except for hydroplaning resistance fell short for me.
For saving money on...
...I run 40 PSI cold and rotate my tires regularly; I believe that contributed to a fairly long service life. I replaced them with PirelliScorpion AS+3's. The Pirellis are better for sure; but not a night and day difference in my opinion. Noise is not a big factor to me as I always have my...
...Fuel mileage? Anything that comes to mind.
There are a number of tires I am considering, including the Goodyear WeatherReady2 and PirelliScorpion WeatherActive as all-weather options… or the Continental CrossContact LX25 and PirelliScorpion AS Plus 3 as all-season options that still do...
...Thinking about get another set (was pretty happy with them and decent a few times or so CO mountain snow) but I've been seeing the PirelliScorpion AS plus 3 pop up. Seems the Conti's do a little better in the snow. Currently DT has rebates on both. $110 on the Conti's and $80 on the...
I went with the PirelliScorpion Weatheractives with the symmetrical design. I chose them because of their well rounded reviews … good handling, quiet, comfortable, and 700 treadwear rating.
9 months and 10,000 miles later …. Love these tires. They’ve lived up to their reviews. They...
Hello,
Quick question. I’m looking at 19x8.5 et 45 Konig Ampliforms but like 235/55/19 PirelliScorpion All Weather tires. Tirerack says wheel sizes for these tires are 7”-8.5” so that’s good but any real world experience if 235s are stretched on 8.5” wheels would be appreciated.
235s on 8.5s...
I don't think that's possible with our family. The CX-9 is just SOOOOOO SMOOOOOOOOOOOOTH going down the road, especially with the Michelin CrossClimate 2's on there. We have both caught ourselfs, shall we say, "speeding". So much so, yeah, I put a Uniden R8 in there. And yes it's saved our...
...If this speed limit was 65 MPH, I drove 70. If it was 70, I went 75. Fast enough for most traffic out of the left lane, but it is amazing how much fuel economy improves.
I will also say that I replaced my stock tires with PirelliScorpion AS Plus 3 tires and they have lasted over 100,000 miles.
