Default 19" tires in correct sizing. BRANDS?

wat r u guys running?
i seem to have a problem finding brands of tires with the sizes for 19s.
245/35/19 fronts and 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 for rears.
i know these r supposed to be the correct sizes for 19s.

was thinking something reasonably priced.
nittos?kumhos?hankooks?---they seem to not have these sizes.
or are these sizing charts not up to date?

wat's everyone else running?
thanks. let me know wat u think.

Most members here are running Toyo T1S, b/c they are the cheapest and lightest in this size. I'm running Bridgestone SO3. There more brands like Pirelli, Dunlop, Falken, Michelin, Goodyear. Just go to www.tirerack.com, you should be able to find all these tires in this size. Hope this help.

check my pics that i just posted. its the one with the link to the msn group. warning cause they are big with great detail but for you that might be what you want cause there is a close up of the front and rear. i am running:

245/35/19 front

255/40/19 rear

falken 451's (or something like that)

main thing here is thats a decent amount of stagger with the rear being taller. i only have TCS and rarely have it on anyway. This setup might be a bit problematic if you have VDC. and oh yeah i think the speedo is off now by about 3 mph or so. big whup.

it also affects the abs system.

the most correct tire sizes for 19" is 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 R

If i am not mistaken when you run the 30 series in the rear that makes the rear tire smaller in overall diameter by -.25inch Thats not good cause then thats negative stagger and can mess up the cars computer system, especially TCS and VDC. The rears will be rotating quicker thus making the car think that you are spinning the tires and people have reported that the TCS kicks in too easily and the SLIP light comes on when you take corners aggresively

I hope you mean the price, because they are a high quality tire. And they come in the correct sizes for the 350Z

Thanks for the info. I have TCS on my car and what you wrote is true on my car. I usually ran the TCS off but the new tire size threw the TCS for sure.

What do you think I mean, of course I am talking about the price. Please read the whole thing and don't just read the first sentence.
