Question about tires for 19' rims
For those of you running 19' rims, do you think it would be better to use 245/35/19 or 245/40/19? I have coilovers too so I will be able to adjust the height of the car if I get bigger tires. Just need opinions... Thanx

Nobody makes a 245 40 so it don't matter if you wan 40 you gotta go 255 40...As far as "better" that depends what you think better is...It will be softer and the ride more "mushy" to put it one way. And your handling will not be as "sharp" and as "responsive"

J, I know you hate TireRack, but they list the Michelin Sport, and 3 others, and DiscountTireDirect.com lists a Falken tire at that size as well.

245/35/19 is what matches factory tire specs, so if you don't want your speedo to be off, then thats what I would get. I have them and have never bent a rim, and I've hit potholes on the highway that knocked my rearview mirror off the roof! Just put close to the maximum air pressure in them. My T1-S's go up to 44psi.
