Neal, I've been ordering tires from the Tire Rack for 20+ years why do I need a third party if you can't swing a deal for members?

Hello, I was looking for some tires in 245/40/19's that have good treadwear since I drive close to 70 miles a day. Can you recommend some tires? I will have 19x8.5 rims.Thanks.

 

By simply putting my name on your online order I can process it quicker than it falling into gen population with the others. I also receive credit for orders placed with my name which is how we get compensated for time spent moderating/providing assistance to forum members. It costs you nothing, but will benefit us both.

Running that size all around or only looking for two tires? If only two, what model/brand will be staying on the car?

 

All round, thanks.

 

May want to check out touring all season for the best tread life. Michelin Primacy MXM4 and Kumho LX Platinum best bet there. On the sporty all season side.... look at Yoko's Avid Envigor and Conti DWS.

Call me when ready!

 

Thanks Neal. I will call you when I'm ready to purchase.

 

Hey neal, I need new tires for OEM 18's, what do you think I should get, specs wise? I want the best performance/durability for price with little tire noise. Anyone else please chime in

 

Coupe/sedan?

 

on a 05 AWD sedan. i'm on 18x8.5 wheels at a +33 offset.

I have your 235/45/18 Kumho LE sport tires. While that is the proper size for my car, the wheels are a bit wider then STOCK. I think stock is 7 or 7.5.

I'm not a hella flush guy so i dont want/need my rims to stick out pass the tires. But i notice that when i take the wheels off and place them on the floor, the edge of the rim is touching the floor. I'm looking to get some cushion there, maybe a 245/45 or 245/40. I know the tire diameter isn't going to be the same but I need to add more cushion for the wheels. What is best 245/45 or 245/40, I know one has a more limited selection but i know 235/45 have almost no options so it will be a upgrade.

 

You can continue to use the 235's on there, or you could move into a 245/45-18. Sticking with a summer tire like you have now, may want to check out B-Stones RE760. If moving into an all season tire the Yoko Envigor and Conti DWS have been great options.

 

does the brand offer slightly wider tires in the 235/45 size? Maybe a 235 kumho is thinner then say a 235 dunlop

 

If there is a difference it's usually only a 1-2 tenths of an inch which isn't noticeable. There's only been one or two cases over the years where a tire is quite a bit wider than others in the same size.

 

Just wanted to say thanks to Neal for a surprisingly quick delivery. I ordered tires at around 10am yesterday and they are already here!! Thanks again!

 

Hey Neal, I just ordered my kumho ecsta 4x blackwall for my g35 coupe, oem specs for the 18's. I'll put neal@tirerack as my referral, let's hope you can process it soon, cause im on a donut

 

Just saw that come through. Thanks for the order and support!

No problem at all! Thanks for the order!
