im getting new wheels, finally. im a bit confused about what tires to get though.

im getting 19x10.5 rears and 19x9.5 fronts. i want tires that will have a nice tread design. they wheels are only going to be on 4 months out of the year, so im not too worried about how easily the rubber wears out.

any ideas? thanks.

 

Toyo T1-R
Bridgestone S-03
Michelin PS2
BFGoodrich KDW2

seem to be popular choices around here

 

Have Toyos T1-S on.
Switching to Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

 

I have the Nitto 555's and like them very much.

 

I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. So far, excellent tread wear and very good traction in both wet and dry conditions.

 

the Toyo T1-R looks sweet. thanks everyone. i think im going to go with those. they look expensive though. lol.

the BFGoodrich KDW2 is a close 2nd.

thanks again.

i didnt want to start a new thread, so im going to post it here. how wide can a tire be and still fit a 19x10.5 rim?

 

I don't know the exact width, but I think you'll run out of room in the wheel well before you get too big a tire on the 10.5" rim. Many, if not most, of us are running 275's on the 10.5" rim, and they are very stretched. I'd say you could easily go to a 295, and probably well in to the 300's on the 10.5" before running out of room on that rim.

 

a 275 tire is the best bet for the rear! good luck to ya...and if you havent gotten your tires yet...check out the dunlop direzzas...just about everyone in my car crew uses them on their 19's...
