New Tires Any suggestions?

Who's got new tires on their OEM 19" wheels? I've got an 05 6m coupe and are planning to get new tires soons. Just wanted to know what size you folks got and if your on stock suspension cause I am.

Planning to use this tire size but not sure if I will run into any issues like speedometer, vdc issues or even fender rubbing since I'm going wider.

245/40/19 and 255/40/19 Falkens.

Also are the 19" wheels at 8 in the front and 8.5 in the rear for the 05 model?

I have the same year/type G as you. I got the Toyo T1R's from tirerack.com and have been very happy with them.

What size tires did you get and how much did you pay? Do you have the stock suspension?

Thanks

Actually I got them from Tiredeals4less.com, they are a sponsor here. I got my Blizzaks from Tirerack.

I have the stock, sport tuned suspension, stock 19" wheels.

The price is good considering the local place wanted $1,600 for four.

IMO the Toyos are much better than the Falken 452s.

I think red35 had 255s on the rear of his OEM 19s with stock suspention and no rubbing he is away at work so i am not sure if he will chime in or not. He had the 452s and didn't like them much.

Hey bro so how did you get that price? I went on that site and it came up to more then that. Was that a special price since you had to inform him that your a member of this site? What was the total you paid in CAD and how much duty did you get slapped with?

Thanks

Ok a lot of local places they quoted me like just under 1600 installed.

Tiredeals4less.com now charges $209 fronts and $219 rears each plus shipping and insurance and duty and after the converstion rate plus to get someone to install it im sure its gonna come up to around 1500-1600 anyways.

I guess I'm gonna decide to get them localy or maybe go with the 245/35/19 fronts from Falken or pay more for the Toyos. I got quoted for the Falkens for all 4 installed just under 1000 though.

6MTzer lives in the U.S., so he would have paid no duty.

Anyone have the 265 40 19 in the rear that are stock? I want to know if you guys are having any VDC issues with that size. I know 255's are fine in the rear.

Thanks
