Default re: 225 40 18 and 275 30 19 anyone using?

I have the 275/30/19 General Exclaims on .....I have no real complaints...I drive pretty aggressively...looks like I'll get 25-30K miles from them.

I'm cheap & considering some 265/35/19 winter tires that tire rack is dumping for $105....they are only V rated....but hey....how often do you really go over 149 mph? Only thing holding me back is ...they weigh 5 lbs more than stock tires & even though they are 265s...info indicates they have narrower tread width??? Hey, how much squirm can there be with any 35 series tire....even if it is a "Snow-Winter" tire??? Sidewalls can't be too soft...since they have a load rating of 1447 vs stock = only 1389....

Actually, if they are winter tires (i.e., stay sticky at cold temps)....I would think they would be REAL sticky in the summer...
