What tires should I get?
Because of the iForged sale, I had to make an impulse buy a couple of minutes before midnight of 12/1. I am very happy with my choice. I ordered 2 piece 19x8 &19x10 in anthracite (for the uniqueness of the color or so i think lol). damn iForged doesn't release their offsets, but it's suppose to be the most aggressive. i certainly hope so.
Now I have trouble picking a good summer tire. I've been reading reviews on tirerack for a few hours already, but I still don't know what to pick. There are way... too many choices.
I've been sliding towards the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position
because of the price and good reviews. The price of the General Exclaim UHP is very appealing. I also see ppl recommending the toyo t1r. The first two have pretty good reviews at tirerack.
I know nothing about tires. It's my first time shopping for it, so I would appreciate the help. I probably wouldn't know the difference between a good tire and a bad one if they told me to drive on both.
1) What size tires do you guys recommend on 19x8 F and 19x10 R? I want the rims to look flush with the fenders, but I don't want to roll my fenders in case I decide on coils.
2)what's the difference between putting 245/35 & 275/35 vs 245/35 & 275/30 vs 255/xx & 285/xx? please fill in the appropriate sidewall xx
3) can you guys place the following in the best performance order:
Extreme Performance Summer
Max Performance Summer
Ultra High Performance Summer
High Performance Summer
Grand Touring Summer
Track & Competition DOT
its from tirerack, and it's confusing.
4) When I read that a set of tires corner well, does it mean that the rear wouldn't fishtail? I honestly would never be able to tell.
5) what should i look for in a good set of summer tires besides traction on dry/wet?
from my questions, you can tell i need serious help. please do! lol
thanks

Too bad you have the 19's because the Neova's are an amazing summer tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....VAN+Neova+AD07
My neighbor has these on his coupe and he scared the shiet out of me. Those things are STICKY! If I didnt need to use my sedan for an all-season commute, I would have these.
For 19's you can get close to the same performance with the ADVAN sports.

I'd go with either the Toyo T1-R or the Nitto NT555 Extreme. I have the Nitto on my car currently and quite happy with them, great ride quality, relatively low noise, excellent dry handling, and treadwear of 300. Had Toyo T1-S (older model) on another car and they were also excellent. I went with the Nitto because I happen to get a great deal on them and they haven't disappointed me.
When I had the stock PS2's on IMO they were not as good as the Toyo's or Nitto's in terms of noise and ride. I believe that the PS2 will not wear as well with a treadwear rating I believe at 220. Also, I had 2 sets of Potenza's and they were OK with the exception of treadwear. I had them on 2 different cars and got less than 18K miles on them.

I was gonna try the Goodyear F1 GS-D3's....from the reviews from users and magazines they handle amazing both in dry and wet conditions. They have a great response feel to them too and a pretty high treadlife for a performance tire. If they are good enough for the new Z06 vettes handling...im willing to trust them on my coupe!
