You might want to think about 245/40 fr and 275/35 rr. They would be the correct "plus zero" sizing.

Kenneth,

I was in the same predicament. Was set on the best rubbers, the Michelin PS2s, but considering the driving I do mostly and money I wanted to spend along with overall performance, I went with the Continental Extreme Contact DW's from TireRack. I would have never considered Conti's before, but they had great reviews and if you order now through April something... you get a free GPS! Check it out! I went with the 245/40/19 Fronts and 275/35/19 rears.

I get them installed next week.

Good luck!

Listen my bro.. If you can pay good money and high price go for
1. Michelin Tires
2. Bridgestone Tire
3. Toyo Tires
4. Yokohama Tires

I have VOLK GT30s and I installed on them Nitto Invo..

Those tires are good I'm not saying they are bad at all.

What I don't like about Nitto is that they are noisy + poor grip + will not live like the ones i told you about above what i said about nitto tires.

but they are good

How do you like the tire size change? Ride, wear, noise? Any rubbing issues and how many miles have you had them? Thanks

I love how everyone goes for cheaper tires...

Minus the one guy who ponied up for PS2s.


@OP: What are your priorities in choosing tires? Grip? Ride? Price? Wet weather performance? Longetivity?

Seems like it's too late, but from what I hear Nitto NT-05s have crazy good grip and are in your size.
