Tires known for stiff sidewalls?

What are some tires known for stiff sidewalls? Preferably that offer a 245/40/19.

Thanks

Look up nitto neo gen or invo. I believe they're both made with an extra reinforced inner sidewalll. Specifically designed for cars running some negative camber.

Nitto NeoGens have pretty stiff sidewalls, Advan AD08s, Michelin Pilot Super Sports, etc. I believe RE-11s also have stiff sidewalls.

Federal SS 595 have super stiff sidewalls. Too bad they're a crap tire, the tread looks so good.

Bought a set of Pilot super sports. Should have them on Monday. The DWS by far are the worst tire i have ever owned i dont understand why they get good ratings. I put 2000 miles on them and they are coming off.

I wouldnt trust another continental tire, i hear the DW has the same problem too. I was ok with the drawbacks of a all-season tire but the DWS was pretty bad.
