I need new 19" tires, since the ones I have on my car now are shot. Does anyone know of any sales going on right now for 275/35/19 and 235/35/19 tires?

I'm trying desperately to keep the purchase under $800 (very difficult) so help me out if you know of something! And yes, NEW TIRES, I got burned on these used ones.

 

Discount Tire Direct (http://www.discounttiredirect.com) has some great deals on tires and the offer FREE ground shipping. You can get a set of Nitto 555's in the sizes you need for $822 shipped. That's about as low as you're going to get a for a decent 19" tire. All you'll need to do from there on is take them to your local tire shop to have them installed. Installation will vary from shop to shop but for the most part expect to pay at least $20 a wheel for mounting and balancing. The bigger tire shops will tend to charge more, but they'll in most cases have the better "rim safe" equipment to get the job done. Your local gas station may charge you $10-$15 per wheel, but then you run into the risk of them slapping your pricey wheels on some ancient tire machine and end up with nicks and scratches, not to mention off-balanced wheels.

Hope this helps...

PS: I've ordered tires from DTD on several occasions and for the most part I always got them within 2-4 days. They're FAST!

 

Thanks Duc, I was looking at them but had been told that the Nitto tires weren't that great. Do you have any info on whether thats true or not? They LOOKED good by the specs, but I'd prefer someone who has some experience with them.

 

I had the Nitto's on my previous set of Volk 19's and for the $$$ you can't beat them. I can honetly say they're an entry level high-performance tire that handles very well in hot / dry conditions, with what I'm going to call "normal" performance in wet and slippery conditions. Compared to pilots and p-zero's all of which I have driven on and owned, the 555's do wear a little quicker (regardless to what the'ye tread wear rating is) than the rest. In wet conditions, once the tires down to less than 60-75% tread, they do tend to get a little sloppy due to the fact they're unable to track through water as they did when newer, but then again you'll get that from just about any high-perf tire. All in all, if you're on a budget and need some rubber quick, while at the same time want to keep hugging those turns, try the Nitto's. I think you'll be happy with them.

 

is hankook a good tire? and if not what tire is good

 

Hey Greg,

I just had to replace my Toyo's about 2months ago...

The new ones are the Toyo Proxies T1-R (T1-S were the old ones). I got my set for ~$860 at my local tire place. I just went onto the Toyo official website, and found an authorized dealer. The Toyo's are awesome...

Make sure you find a place that had those new so called "touchless" (i.e. meaning plastic clips) that supposedly protect your rims. The shop I went to dinged it up a little, so make sure you find a reputable shop. Installation will run you ~$100 (mount, balance, install).

p.s. did you see this? https://g35driver.com/forums/archived-sales/110690-245-35-19-275-35-19-potenza-s-must-go.html

 

How are your Toyos in rain? How well are they wearing at this point? I was contemplating another set of Toyos.

 

Toyo's IMO and from what I have seen do handle better in wet conditions and they'll last longer than the Nitto's...

 

I am looking into getting either Toyo T1R or Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

Does anyone know how they compare?

 

I have the toyo t1r now i use to have the toyo t1s. The t1r has better tread life and they handle just as good as the t1s did. Im pretty sure the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is a very good tire as well but i have no experience with them, They'll probably cost a little more thant the toyos.
