I need tires and I cant see dropping the big bucks for 255 35 19s. Has anyone tried the sizes I listed and if so any negative effects?

Thanks.

 

I'm running Nankang NS-IIs in 235/40-18 and 275/35-19 sizes and they are actually a great tire for the price. Got about 15K out of them and there is still a little there for spring. I will be getting another set of rears because the fronts are still in great shape.

I think I paid about $450 shipped to my door.

I installed the 275 30 19 did not like the look of the 30 side wall, the width look great. i put the 275 35 back on, I think 30 would look better if car was lowered and 30 on 35 on front . If u like the 30 let me know i have 2 dunlop 275 30 19 with about 20 miles on them

 

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...

 

I thought bout getting some used tires to shredd up at the track. called about some 285/35 or 295/30

 

I have 225/40/18 and 235/35/19s on mine right now
feels alot better than the continental bullshit that came with the car.
its much more precise, due to the smaller, stiffer sidewall.

also i cant really run anything wider than that due to how low i am

 

OK, you guys can start tearing me up now.....Tires-easy wanted $365 each for those V rated Bridgestone 265/35/19 winter tires that I paid Tire-Rack $105 each for......but, Tires-easy did have some Achilles ATR All Seasons "W" rated UTOG 400 225/40/18s for the front for $66 each......I figure I'll put all 4 on next winter......After shipping & installation I'll have less than $500 in the set.

Somebody needed to test those super cheap tires!!!

 

I went a bit bigger on the rears.... (285/35/19)
I kept the stock size on the fronts (225/40/18)

$ 637.00 (4 tires)
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

 

i need to go smaller up front, as im rubbing. but the only thing i can find in a 205 30 18 is a toyo.

 

I just grabbed some TOYO PROXES TR1's for the rear in 285/35. Not sure how they will last but they grip pretty well, and the tread looks killer. I got a great deal so I jumped on them, so time will tell.

 

Got a new set of michelin pilot plus in 255 40 19 for $200 cash mounted and balanced the other day. Could not believe the deal I was getting they handle great. I only needed the rear and the guy didn't want to seperate all four so I just spent another $100 for two and now I got two spares. The 40's were a tight fit but look really good

 

I run 235/35 19 on the front and 245/35 20 on the rear without problems

 

I'm running toyo Proxes T-1R as well in stock 225/40/ 18's up front. and275/35 19's in back. I love these Tires but they are a bit pricey!
