Re: Replacing Tires:
There have been so many posts on replacement tires. The 19" wheel does limit tire choices, particularly if you want an all-season tire like the OEM Contis. Some folks have gone to aftermarket 18s all around and put a 245/45 or so on the rear: Better choices of tires available.
Wish all I needed was a summer performance tire so I could go with the Kumhos. I've had good luck with that brand. I for one am overwhelmed/confused by the process.
