If anyone recomends some (that they have used) I will be then selling my 3rd set of wheels, OEM 17s.

Please dont tell me to keep the 17s for winter and chuck the 19s idea. I live in a milder climate in the winter and want looks over preformance. Besides, I have a Silverado if the going gets real tuff.

Thanks for the imput!
I have Brigestone Blizzaks on my 19s stock size 225/40-19 & 245/40-19 and there great. don't get all-season for the winter there almost not worth it. I drove through 4" of snow with my blizzaks with no problems, there great and life savers, seriously.

The s.drives are a summer ultra performance tire. The Michelins are an all season tire. It really depends on whether performance is more valuable than tread wear.

what does that have to do with mounting a tire that requires a wheel at least 9" in width?

A 335 can fit on an 8.5" wheel, does that make it fit correctly? Enjoy your squishy rear - at least you can say "I have 275s on my stock wheels!" For a weekend or autox car with stiff sidewalls - fine. For a DD and a street tire? No way.

just put on 245/35/19 and 255/40/19 falken 452's on my oem 19's. feels great. still breaking the tires in but cant wait to test its grip in the corners.

the shop put in 35psi for the fronts and 40psi for the rears. is this fine, or should i leave it 35psi all around?
