Time for new tires, got a question, did some research.

It's time for me to replace my first set of tires. I want something that will fit the oem 19'' wheels, but something that has a little more tread life. I did some reading and found people talking about the the toyo T1Rs and the Falken FK452s. However some ppl are talking about changing the size. For instance I found a thread that said to go with: falkens FR..245/35/19
RR..255/40/19.

Questions
These will fit the 19s fine?
Do they make the toyos and the falkens in the oem size?
Is there any benefit to changing the size or is it that they just have more choices with that size?

yes, they will fit fine on the oem 19's

they make the toyo's in the front and rear oem size but falken's have the rear's only as far as oem goes

with those sizes you'll benefit both from a little bit more contact patch and way more tire choices

go with the falkens... they're more affordable, and they have decent treadwear...check out http://www.edgeracing.com

I can put these tires (falkens) on my oem 19's with no problems or modifications? Just making sure I don't have to buy anything other than the tires.
