Trying to pick a tire (Yes, I know. I'm sorry)
I know. There have been about 3,405,349 threads like this recently, etc... etc...
But this is really driving me nuts, and I need all the help I can get, so I'm relying on the knowledge of my Sedan driving brethren.
I'm going to be putting some 19's on the G. They are 19x8 +30
I'm sitting on revised Z suspension right now. I may go lower, but it won't be for quite a while if I do at all.
I've got it boiled down to two tires, but I can't decide between them.
I'm looking at getting either
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 in a 245/40/19
or
Nitto NT NeoGens in a 245/35/19
Now here's my dilemma:
245/40 Hankooks:
Pro: 40 series fills wheel well better
Con: 40 seres makes wheel look smaller than 35
Pro: 40 seres protects better from potholes bending wheel
Con: cost $63 more for a set.
Pro: comes with $50 rebate
Con: have to wait on freaking rebate
Pro/Con: Hankook? I've read good things about them in C&D, but the guy at discount said they weren't all that
245/35 Nittos:
Pro: 35 seres looks awesome on 19s
Con: I'm afraid it will make too much wheel gap and then I'll want lower
Pro: Cheaper, and I don't have to fool with rebate
Con: Bend one wheel and they're not cheaper anymore
Pro: They're Nittos and made for Neg camber
Con: I'm just really worried about the 35s
Pro/Con: I don't know if these are better or worse than the Hankooks even if they were the same size
So there's where I am. What do you guys think? Any input at all would be helpful. I would especially appreciate it if any of you guys have first hand experience with these tires, or with either of the sizes mentioned on Z suspension.
I'm putting a poll up too.
Thanks for putting up with my OCD.

Look for ones that are black and round n00b! hahaha!
I run 35s front(245) and back(255) and no issue with skinny sidewalls/bent wheels. Not running staggered? You are right the 40s will fill the wheel gap a hair better. But the answer to that is spelled C-O-I-L-S.

^Wow Wayne. I KNEW I would get that response from Blain, but I wasn't expecting it from you
Like I said in the post. I have no immediate plans to go any lower.
I also decided not to run staggered because I did on the TA and not being able to rotate tires is just annoying.
I may opt to space the wheels for a more flush fitment later on, but I really don't want to deal with a staggered setup.

lol coils, I personally got A/S tires with high tread life, I wanted to get a summer tire but since most of my driving is highway I just got a nice DD tire. (Conti DWS) I have OEM Eagle RS-A tires and I cant wait to get rid of them! I got around 25k(estimated) miles on them 3/32nds all around.
