Quick question running (4) 245/40/19 tires

I have an AWD sedan and have four 19x8.5 coupe wheels. i researched some info that alot of coupe members are putting 245/40/19 OEM tires on the front wheels. so my question is, would i be ok running 4 245/40/19 OEM tires on my sedan with the coupe wheels? appreciate the help.

245s fit on the 8.5 wheels perfectly....and with an AWD I wouldn't hesitate one bit...

I do suggest staying with the Bridgestones or something in the the same performance bracket even though they get expensive.

Will work and look great! Very common size to use all around and great selection in that size.

I got mine from tirerack.com ... there's really no need to look elsewhere

I'd recommend:

RE050s or Advans. I've had both, RE050s are some what stiffer sidewalls but the Advans seem better when it rains.

great! thanks for the help shabbo and Neal. i got a little bit of tread left on OEM tires, so by the end of this year or beginning of next spring i should in the market for tires.

I was also interested in trying the new BS RE760 or alot of people also recommeded the yoko S drive. Both tires are in good price range, treadwear, and bascially all of what i was looking for, and i dont wanna spend too much more from there.

Depends on how your drive really... The S-Drives are good tires with decent performance but if you get too spirited on them with all the HP that the car pushes out you'll need at least the OEM rubbers

My friend went with S-drives on an Evo from the OEM yokos and...sure enough... accident in about a week because the tires could handle the limits he was accustomed to.
