I was looking at the Blizzak LM-60's? Can you beat advertised price, 225/40R19 $216.00 (ea.) & 245/40R19 - $235.00 (ea.) = $902.00

Thanks.
LM60's would be a good choice. Those are really your only options in 19" unless you plan on an 18 or 17" packabe. Best I can do is the prices listed online, but I'd be happy to place it for you or keep an eye on it if placed online with my name attached.

Those sizes are a tad shorter than what should be used. 225/40 and 245/40-19 would be a better combo to use. The V12's would be a great sport summer tire to use. Price point is good, good wet/dry, decent life, etc. For the price there isn't another that can really beat it.

Neil,

I'm guessing someone has asked this question here already but I am unable to go through all the posts. Will you please tell me the maximum percentage + or - I can go before VDC starts having issues (if there is such a percentage). I have an 06 sedan.

Thanks a lot!

Honestly do not know what the tolerance is. However, I've seen tires as little as a half inch off in diameter, from what it should be, set off the VDC.

Ok thanks I'll be sure to call you if I decide to get the Direzza Z1 SS in 245/45/18. I might as well ask, any specials on these coming up soon, or any tires with similar autocross performance for less?

Nothing in the immediate future, but with spring just around the corner anything can happen.

Not that the sales force has been informed. If there are additional brands added to our line-up I'll let everyone know

Looking at just replacing my stock 17" tires on an 08 G35 Journey Sedan. According to your website, the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 225/55R17 seem to be rated highly. Any other recommendations? I live in FL so summer/wet weather performance is key. It's also a lease that is due back in a year, so I'd really like to have enough tread left that I don't have to put new tires on it when I turn it back in. I only drive about 6k per year, if that. Any other brands/models I should consider that would best meet my needs?

Those would work well for a sport summer tire in your area. Good wet, dry, response, price point, etc. Home run really.
