Not much to choose from in that size, but I'd look at the B-Stone G019 Grid. Great all around tire that can be driven aggressively if needed, but also provide good tread life. There's also the Goodyear Eagle GT which has a tad better dry handling/steering response.

Largest I'd want to go would be 255/35-19 front and 285/35-19 rear. Diameters will work fine and they will work on those wheels well.

The Yoko Advan Sport would be the highest performance tire in that size. Higher on the price range but a great tire. Also the Dunlop Sport Maxx.

 

Thanks Neal... what about the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1? Just not sure if they have my size?

 

Yeah not made in your size.

 

Hey, Neal!

Glad to have you on board. Perfect timing as I have some questions in regards to tire replacements... my 2005 G35 coupe is due for a tire change soon and I was wondering if you had any suggestions/recommendations as to which tires to get? I have been and am currently cruising with the Bridgestone Potenza's... they're kind of pricey, so was curious to know if there are other brands out there that might be less costly, but still of decent quality. I've already perused the Tire Rack.com website and I was wondering my options are limited to what's listed. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

 

What model/tire sizes are you using?

 

I have 2005 coupe, I am looking at buying aftermarket rims and I have been looking for quite some time now. I like the flushed look (the deep dish look) on the back rims and the wide aggressive look it has from the sides and especially if you are looking from behind the car. I want to stay with the 19 inch size and the staggered sizing, but my question is how wide can I get in front and the back. My understanding that now I am riding on 8.0 in front and 8.5 in the back with the factory 19 inch rims. How wide can I go without modifications. I really dislike spacers so thats not an option I willing to take.

I was looking at possible 8.5/9.0 in the front and 9.5/10.0 in the back. The tiresizes would be 245/40/19 front and 255 or 265/40/19 in the back. So, in other words, how wide can I go so that I can achieve this look without affecting fender rashing, shock/structs damage, etc.....

 

Thanks for the quick reply, Neal. Currently have... Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, 225/40R19 (front) and 245/40R19 (rear).

I've been reading the reviews on the Potenza's and everyone seems to have mixed opinions. It hasn't been that long since I last changed out my tires... maybe like a year or year and a half ago.... only replaced two tires... the dealership moved the front ones to the back and put new ones in the front, I think... or something to that effect.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

 

We've gone as large as a 255 front with a 285 rear w/out issues. If you wanted to be a little conservative you could run 245/35-19 front 275/35-19 rear. Widest wheels would be a 9" front and 10.5" rear (although most the 10.5" wheels have been discontinued).

The oem B-Stones aren't bad, just a bit overkill for every day use. Many are using the Hankook V12's, Conti DW, Kumho KU31 as dd drivers with good luck.

 

Thanks for you input, Neal! I guess I'll consider those other brands. I can't afford to keep replacing those B-stones. lol!

 

Neal, I plan on getting some new wheels (19x9.9F +19 & 19x10.5 +17) I also want an aggressive look, but want my ride to be a bit comfortable, since it is my daily driver.

I was thinking 245F/275R or 255F/285R, what do you recommend?

Also can you give me quote on some Yokohama S drive or any similar brand in performance and quality, shipped to 95765 for the both setup size mention. Thanks

 

if the diameter of new tires/wheels are 3-4% bigger than stocks, would you recommend getting your speedometer adjusted? and where can you go to get the speedo adjusted?

 

I'd go with the 255/285 combo to keep diameters correct and best tire selection. No S-Drives in that combo but the Hankook V12 would be very similar. A set shipped would run $840.93.

Don't know any way around the speedo reading. More importantly if the sizes are not correct you'll trip the VDC and cause more issues that speedo error.

Thanks, that helped alot, now its time to find that special rim for that special look... Thanks again.....

 

Got a question for you.
Ive got new rims. 19x8.5 35 front and 19x9.5 40 rear.
I got a sedan awd.
My question is what tire size should i be looking for?
What is the proper width range i should get for the 8.5 and 9.5?
thanks

 

^^ I'd run 245/40-19 all around. Will fit the wheels fine and has a good selection to choose from.
