How many in. are your tires, and can you chirp them??

hey guys i have 2000 5 speed Maxima. I recently changed my rims to 19in g35 rays with about 50% z rated tires and i cant chirp second for the life of me. If im going down hill i can chirp 2nd or if its raining lol. I was wondering if its normal? So my question is what size tires are you guys running and if you can chirp them? if so do you guys think their may be a problem as far as performance in my car? thanks!! As for the stock tires i bought the car with the stock tires brand new so i can barely get those to chirp too.
PS:This is my 2nd manual so i know im driving stick right

I feel my IQ dropping. Did you ever think that tires may have a play into this and not all tires are the same? Z-Rated tires vs. stock tires? 19s vs 16/17s?

Rubber compound, contact area, rotational mass (wheel weight) ...

Too many physical factors to go along with that. Motor mount material and condition, suspension ..
