Looking to buy some back tires for my 05' limited. So far, I'm done to three options but i really dont know which one's to get:

295/35Z/19- 2 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT

245/40R/19- 2 KUMHO ECSTA LX

245/55R/19 4 BRIDGESTONE DUELER


Which of the one would you prefer to get?

Thanks!!

The original size is 255/35/19. 265 & 275s look good......but may find best prices in 30 series tires. Some have put 285s on the OEM wheels......not sure if 295s will even work.

I saw a post where someone fitted 295 30 on stock rears and they looked sweet! I am going to 295 once my 255 wear out. Also the 245 40 18 on front looks better than stock size IMO. Thats what was on mine and it fills the fenders better. I had them on with no spacers but it is a tight fit. No rubbing though. Just installed 19s all around and running stock rears, for now, and 235 35 19 on front. Handles like on rail now with the reduced sidewall but the ride was MUCH better on the 245 40 18. Hope this helps.

None of the above.
Obviously you are not buying new or you would get a proper size. Search for the sugested sizes that is posted in every other tire thread...

Be careful of putting too wide of a tire on the stock wheels. Check with Tire Rack, see what the tire manufacturer recommends. The stock wheels are not that wide. I run 275-30's and they recommend 9.5 in wheels.
