Need advice on 19" tires..

[Calclearbra]

Just wanted to hear some feedback on which brand of tires will work best for 19" rims. I can never get an honest answer from local tire stores. They push what's in stock or they just don't know. I was told to buy 235/35 in the front and 265/30 in the rear. They are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the back. Any help would be great. Rims will be coming in this Friday so I'll be buying tires this weekend. Thanks!

Yup 235/35/19 for 8.5 and 265/30/19 for the 9.5

I like Toyo Proxies. Nitto's are pretty good in my book too and are competitively priced.

Well...I ended up getting the 235/35 for the fronts and the 265/30 for the rears. I opted to buy the Nitto 555's. So far so good! The knock off Brabus rims I bought look nice. They were machined to fit my clk and billet hubcentric spacers were used for a great fitment with no vibration. I hope to have some pix to share with you all soon!

Luke:

Any particular reason the Michelin Pilots and Pilot A/S were missing from your list? I am close to buying some and curious? Thanks.
