Just got new tires today. Bridgestone's RE050a Pole Position with same exact spec. So far so good, tire is quiet, compose during sudden jerking 
, and very firm road feel. Turning input have not been affected to a degree where I notice a difference. Great spec for oem 19s 
and these are great tires compared to the regular re050's.

Redlude -THANKS for the input.
however the re11's are only in these sizes
Bridgestone re11
-235/35
-245/35
-255/35
-265/35
-275/30
dont want to run a square setup, its damn near impossible to get a stupid aggressive tire for the oem 19's bnut i dont want to drop another 1g+ on rims since i could care about looks

If this is for a track setup, I would go 245/35/19 and 255/35/19. VDC shouldn't be an issue(since it should be off on the track anyways). The slightly short rear tire will help with acceleration as well.
If you don't care about looks, you could sell your OEM 19's and pick up a set of track oriented 18's for almost the same price, which is another option.

Nitto NT-05's come in the oem sizes for 19's.
You can get all four for under $800 at discounttiredirect.
Been running them about a month. Best tires I ever had. They out perform the RE50's in every conceivable way.
Totally happy with them

im going to be the crazy guy again, just finished my 275/35/19 rears, got 245/35/19 fronts with 40% tread left (shows how i drive).
No problems, great tires, will order the same exact rears again.
Made it though 5 autox's, 4 drag days, 3 burnouts, 2 nails, and a HELL of a driver.
BFG KDW2 tires FTW!

redlude- not necessarily a track tire but i want a very aggressive tire that will hold 450rwhp and similiar tq. i dont daily drive it so i could care less about tread life and have a set of michilin ps a/s for winter. i just need something that can actually hold the power threw the turns and hook up better. i might go with some enkie rpf1's in an 18 if i need to but would prefer to keep the oems( since realistically its another $1200)
... so the 245/35 and 255/35 are you best suggestion that wont mess with vdc(when driving aggressive its off 100% of the time, but want it to work through the city and stuff)
