Replacement 19" tires.. your thoughts?

My 19's tires are getting down to their last few breaths. I think I've clocked about 14k miles on them, not very happy to say the least but i have to take much of the blame.

The car is lowered on eibachs and I only got it aligned after the fronts were worn on the inside. Got it aligned and flipped the fronts. Still 4k miles later the insides are worn again. The rears are surprisingly still holding up. Still have about 5k left in them.

I have toyo proxies T1s 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 rear.

I have been happy with the performance of the toyos, but is there a better tire out there that will last longer and perform as good or better for a comparable price and is quiet?

I'm going to get a-arms and spc bolts for the rear and get the alignment perfect once these new tires go on.

I spent a good amount of time searching yesterday and after about an hour I gave up.

your thoughts?

sorry, can't give you longetivity results, but i am enjoying my Dunlop Direzza DZ101's. 245/35/19 & 275/30/19

They have are pretty stiff sidewalls, having been designed for drift. Cornering is awesome and I'll let you know how they do on the drag strip, as soon as I get a kitchen pass AND it stops raining here in SoCal!

Cheers, ted

run Falken ST-115's. they last a long time and they're quite performance minded. not as pure performance as the T1s', but good nonetheless.

I've got 6.5k on my Bridgestone S-03's. Probably not as sticky as the Toyos but good performance and they're holding up nicely so far. I have a bit of negative camber in the front, so when I rotated my tires I saw some uneven wear on the front. S-03's are not nice on the wallet though.
