Default Looking for oppinions on tires

I know there are plenty of threads on this, and I started searching and can't really come up with anything. Here is my specs.19 8.5 F and 19 9.5 R
offsests: 42 F and 23 R: Front has a 20 mm spacer.
I auto-x and dd the car, I am looking for something that isn't to loud but can handle all around driving. Sizes I am looking at are 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 unless I am safely capable of going wider with out bulging or other issues. Thanks for your time. Just looking for a good brand and model of tire. I used to run nitto invo's but they wore out really fast.

I posted CR test results several times, but members continue to buy crap Nitto tires. So I stopped posting.

You didn’t mention your budget.

I assume you want summer performance tires. If cost isn’t an issue, go with Michelin’s or Pirelli’s.

$1,200 is a big number. You should be able to get anything you want.

Give the Sumitomo HTR Z3's a look. Check out the review at Tire Rack as well. Go here if you want to buy.

I'd agree on above, B-Stone RE050A Pole Position. Great tire for quite some time now. Could also look at the Sumi HTRZ-III as the better of the second best if you don't want to spend as much.

Did not realise that you guys are sponsors. Welcome. Bought my wheels and tires from you guys awhile ago. Very pleased.
