Default bang for buck on a 275/35/19 tire??

I DID use search, but spent 20 minutes and found very little useful info.

Anyone have advice for the most affordable/yet decent tire in the size listed above. I am hoping, if at all possible, to stay around $200 per tire???

Price?
Where to buy?

FWIW...will be running 245/35/19 fronts

Not racing or anything like that...
Looking at Hankook Ventus V12 evo k110 at Tire Rack for $207 ea. rear and $167 ea. front. Any suggestions??

Thanks.

Any yes...I am a noob here...take it easy on the flamage

I did a lot of research on tires and those are it. Number two tire on car and driver but the best all around tire I could find. Ill be getting a pair for the rear wheels on my Z this month.

I am using a 285/35/19 on my OEM Nismo rears and went with the hankook, great tire for the price. Under $400 for the pair, plenty of traction and seem to be holding up fairly well.

Hankooks are **** on the z. I had a set, got 11k miles. They blow in the rain... and after 8k, the dry grip went to hell. I wouldn't recommend them if they were $100 each, well unless you drive your z like a grandma.

Toyo t1r or falken fk452's are the best tires for the money. Great wet/dry traction... and better treadwear than the hankooks.

imo, of course

I will agree that they are terrible in the rain. The car feels like a huge turbo car on wet roads lol.

No, that's just the truth. If you don't drive your car very hard... you won't notice what I'm saying. If you do, pony up the extra 75-100 for a better set of tires.

Default Bang for the $$$

Op try Continental, great tire, quiet, good grip rain or shine, plus all Continentals come with road hazard warranty (that I have had to use once already). They replaced my damaged tire for FREE, that is worth THE BANG FOR THE BUCK if nothing else. Try these sites:

LOL spent a whole 20 minutes trying to compile your own research? It's dumb to ask somebody else to pick your tires because everybody has different wants/needs and a different driving style. Would you let your sister pick your outfit before you went on a date?

Lmao.
It's called, 'asking for advice'!

Easy with the personal attacks.

I spent 20 minutes using the SEARCH feature on this site you jacktard. I also made it CLEAR that I am "not racing or anything like that.." Apparently reading comprehension is low on your list of priorities. Thank you to everyone else who has helped.

And, yes, having your sister pick an outfit for you is sometimes a wise idea fwiw..

On to more important things... sorry..

Anyone have any idea IF the 275 Hankook Ventus V12 + Varrstoen TE37 10.5 will end up with rim sticking out BEYOND tire? Hope not.... If my sister was around, I could ask her
