Tire suggestions

Getting my varrstoens fairly soon, looking to get a new tire setup for the rims and looking for the best all around tire, money/tread life being the main priority.

Looked around, and couldn't really find a clear cut answer for the 245/35/19 range or 275/35/19 range. Also for 9.5 and 10.5 width rims is that the preferred size, or whats the closest in terms of OE 19's so it doesnt offset the speedometer too much.

A 275x30x19 will fit better for the rear.

As for tires, I enjoy the Hankook V12's.

How long have you had them for? and how many miles do you estimate youve put on them? Reason why i ask is cause I put around 300 miles a week on my car, which means around 18000-20000 miles a year with trips and everything. So treadlife will be fairly important.

The Hankooks wear pretty decently. I don't think you'd be disappointed for what they're worth.

Well if you look at my car you'll clearly see that tire life is not something I care about lol

Personally I really like Nitto Invos. They great tires.

Cheap tires that are really good though are General Exlcaims (but I've heard are now discontinued)

My favorite tire of all time for everything (except price because they're worth a fortune) are Michelin Pilot Sports.

The 245/35 and 275/35 combo would work well. Need an all season tire or summer only tire?

Personally I would go with some Nitto Invos decently priced. My last set lasted around 25000 miles a little over 2 years semi-aggressive driving. Ran a 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear

Of the sport summer tires you may want to check out Hankooks V12 EVO or Kumho SPT KU31. On the all season side (which will give the longest life) I'd check out Conti's DWS.

Are u or will you be lowering ur car.
If so how much?
This could dictate what size tires to get.
I'm only on my 2nd set so can't really direct u on what to buy,
but I know I won't buy Falken 452s after this set wears out.
They're rough/loud as hell.
