+1 on the 555s. They aren't the best performers but they last forever. Performance is still pretty good but just not as sticky as some of the real expensive tires. I think the Nitto 555s and Falkens are the best bang for the buck. I think the Falkens ride quieter and are cheaper while the Nittos perform better.

Went to Discount Tire Co. to get a repair because I had a nail in my tire and found out the nail was 4 inches long and was rubbing the inner sidewall and had to get them replaced. Ordered Continental Sports but I don't hear many people talking about them. Are they any good. Paid $300 each for 275/35zr-19

This is what I had planned on replacing the oem tires with. Seems like a good tire at a reasonable price.

I like my T1-Rs, ive had them for about two weeks now. I was running Michelin Pilots before....not a bad tire but like my toyo's far better. Im also running the same wheel set up your asking about too. Im running 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. Hope it helps.

Put T1 Rs on my ZZzz about 2 months ago. Car rides better & no noise. Handling is fine.
