if you live in brooklyn, i would highly suggest you go with a 245/40/19. i belive there is a goodyear eagle f1 in that size. they are alittle more expensive, i think because it is a rare size. ive gone through 2 sets of 18's on 40 series tires in staten island and bent them all . if you go up a rim size, and down another tire size, itll look hot but i guarantee you dont make it 6 months before you start bending rims.. we dont live in the same areas as some of these other people.. you gotta keep that in mind

Back on topic, as he already owns the 19" wheels and in asking which tire size for those wheel specs, many run 245/35/19 as I mentioned before.

Im from Queens NY. I wouldnt drive a Max in that rathole of a city, let alone 19's......if you must, get 245/35's.........The extra 5 numbers of sidewall , won't make a difference when you drive thorugh the POS streets of Crooklyn.......

That's why I run 17" wheels and tires in the winter just like many others on this forum. I'm sure that the author of this thread was inquiring about summer wheels, not that he would be running 19" year round.

trust me, ill be careful with 19's, this is nothing here ive never heard before about 19 inch rims in the city, thats exactly why i want to get the right size tires for here, i appreciate all your help and i found some Toyo Proxes and im probably going to buy them, plus i go to college in the city so i take the train everyday, so its not like im gonna be riding around all the time on them, im hoping the tires would last me over a yr though.... and for next winter im thinking of putting back my stock 15 wheels because i do have good miles left on them.... any1 think thats a good idea??

i disagree with everyone saying that 19's with 40's makes the rims look small.. it just looks like you actually have a tire. its a bigger rim with a smaller sidewall height that would come on a stock 6th gen. at any rate.. if you, or when they bend, i can tell you where you can go to have them fixed for $50.

245/35
245/40
Now, I know ^^They^^ don't look small or close to 17's and the tire fills the wheel gap more nicely.
