Default Can't find a tire for my new Iforged

My Iforged is coming next month, They are 19x10.5 19x9.5.
I don't know what offsets are, and now I have no idea of which tire to go .

some people say 275 with 10.5 is little too narrow. Should go with 285 or 295 wide. So i decide to go 295/35/19 + 255/35/19 And there are only one Brand that have these size. Michelin PilotSport . If i go 285/35/19 + 255/35/19 than will be Pirelli
P-Zero Rosso. Thses two tries r little pricy for me.

any one with 19x10.5 19x9.5 wheel? can u tell me what size, brand, and price of ur tires?

anyone can tell me what else I could choose?

You'll be fine with 275 if you drive normally.

on a 10.5 you definetly need at least a 285, if you go with 275 the rim will be sticking out furthur than the tire, you need as 285 or 295 or even a 305(dont know you may rub with this size)

look at Falken, Dunlop, Bridgestone I think they make the sizes your looking for, if you decide to go with 295 go with a 30 profile

I have 275's on a 10.5 and I wish I would have gone with 285 or 295's instead. But as you say, the tire choices in those sizes are minimal and with a wider tire, I might have had to roll the fenders. Hopefully by the time I burn through these, there will be more choices.

What would you recommend for the front? I have 255/35/19 Proxies on my 9.5". Its actually a little smaller than I want to be. But I'm afraid with my offsets the tires would be sticking out to far (past the fender) if i went with 275/30. Grrr, I wish i could just test all the sizes I need first.

Why such wide rims??? Ideally with no fender roll you prolly should have gone with 8.5" and 9.5" widths.

I think a 255 is going to be stretched on a 9.5" rim? 275s are reccommended for 9.5"s. 285-295 for the 10.5"s. I did hear about a guy running 275s on front for autocrossing and I dont think he did any mods, however, I dont know his offsets.

You can run 255/35 or even 265/30 in the front and either 285/35 or 295/30 in the rear.
Continental and Pirelli are the only 2 that make 295/30. At around $300 a piece for Conti and $360 for Pirelli, it's a little pricy if you drive hard and need to change the tires every 15k Miles.

thats me, they are on 9" +35 rims, but are 275/40-17, so a lot shorter.

I would go 285/35 rear, 245/35 front in Falken GR Beta, from discount tire, (actually, I should say, I will be going on my next set) they cost 295 and 193 each,respectively. This will keep pretty close to your stock diameters. (285/35 is larger than stock by the same tiny amount that 275/35 is shorter)

Do to my offsets (in the rear this time) im worried that the 295's might be a little to big. I dont want them sticking out of the fenders. So i was thinking for this batch of tires (every year ), i would go 265/35 front and 285/35 rear. BUT, not one manufacture makes both those sizes. Fun eh? So would it be a bad thing to mix and match brands? I went to Discoutn Tires site, and I picked out some Michelin PS2's in 265/35 and some Falken 451's in 285/35. Does this sound like a good idea? I haven't ordered yet, so im still open to suggestions.

I had some 245/35 Proxies on the front before, and they where waaaaaay to small. So i upgraded to 255/35. They too are also a bit too small. I'm thinking i want to try 265 before I make the jump to 275.

This makes me mis my truck. 32x10.5x15. Everyone has those.
