Actually yes Pirelli does make 19" Scorpion Ice and Snow:
Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow Size:245/50R19
That is what I put on my 2LT from the Tire Rack.

All season Stock on left: ........... Snows and Sport Edition rims on the right:


The tire and rim package was about $1500 from the Tire Rack. Note: These rims are no longer available.

I just check the Tire Rack and for SS they recommend Size:235/55R19. But they are currently sold Out :(
For 20" they recommend 245/45R20 the do have them in stock but thous and the cheapest rims will run about $2000, and you will get a harsher ride. (cold rubber does not give well).
