Default decent tires

ok so im getting rims soon for the z and i want to get a decent tire for them but not something that will cost me a fortune. id be willing to spend like 800-900 for the tires but obviously is i can spend less than that for a good tire by all means do let me know!

i need a tire for daily driving. i dont throw my car arond too much but every now and again get the urge. the rims are gonna be 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I have 18 inch bridgestone potenzas on there rigt now and like they way these feel.

Handeling and tread life are important to me id be willing to deal with the noise

Thanks guys

19's create a problem with cheap tires. None of the cheaper tires (Hankook, Nitto, Falken) make a 275/35/19. If you don't mind running a 275/30 then you have more to choose from. You should be able to get Toyo T1-S or the new T1-R for under $1,000.

Falken Azenis do come in 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear.

I found an online wholesale tire company that has these in stock for $725-$750 shipped. (I think somewhere very close to that price range)

i have a pair of falken fk-451s in 285/35/19 on my rears... they are a pretty good tire with decent wet/dry traction. (only complaint would be more road noise than i would like)

i know they also come in 245/35/19 for the fronts.

I have 20" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and the ride is excellent. I do not feel much, if any, difference from stock 17" Bridgestones. Tread wear rating is very good.

Mind sharing this info because Falken doesn't list this size in their specs.

Only problem is I can't find those tires for under 1k in those sizes.

A great tire but very pricey.

Their price is cheaper than other online stores that I've checked out.

Hmmmm, I'm sorry but I think I may have mis-read some info on the site about the 275/35/19 on Falkens.
