I think you really either want to try and get by with 19" all season tires or you'll have to get non-studded winter tires. The 21" performance tires aren't really meant for cold weather even of the streets are clear.
For lower snow-belt areas like Indiana, when should someone switch to winter tires? When it starts getting below 40 degrees F at night? Thanks.

pirelli has 21inch wintertyres

I have not seen any all season or winter tires that would fit the 21 inch rims.
The summer performance tires are just that, for SUMMER. My brother reports that he needs to change Oct 15 as he notes slipping with summer tires at 45*F. The local race tracks close much earlier. Never drive on snow or in freezing weather on summer tires unless you want a new car or a trip to the hospital.
I don't think any of the 21" tires listed here are 245, don't think they would work with the OEM rims.

So I'm getting the 21in performance tires, but I do live in Colorado. Most of the time the streets are clear even in winter, but there are definitely weeks when there is snow/ ice on the road to drive over. I don't really have a long commute and have always had all season tires in the past with my little Saturn. I am sure that driving the performance tires year round here will simply not be a good idea. However, I don't want studs, and am not sure theyre even allowed here in town. My question is this:
Do I really need to get a separate set of 19in rims to get all-year tires? or are they going to come up with a non-studded winter tire for us to get?
I don't think 19" or 21" make much difference except in tire availability.
Unfortunately, the Model S 21" tires are 245/35R21here some michelin 245 21" wintertyres

Cottonwood, do you drive with the summer tires when it gets below 45 degrees and dry? Any problems with that?
With summer tires mounted, don't bother trying to stop, because you probably won't. After 74 feet -- the stopping distance of the Charger on winter tires -- the Pirelli-equipped car has shed just 4 mph and will slide for another 258 feet before coming to rest. Scarier still, the overworked antilock braking system experiences critical brake fade well before the car stopps. The pedal drops to the floor and braking force plummets, turning the driver into a passenger as the car sails across the slick surface.
