19" best tires and size?

I have 19" wheels (champion) with yokohama advan sport tires 235/35-19 front and 315/25-19 rears.... rear tires inner edges shot.. need new tires.. fronts are like new.. but I looked on tire rack and I dont see my rear size offered.. just 305/30.. which makes my rear tire about 1/2" taller then my front...would like to keep fronts and just get new rears to try to save some $.. you guys running 19" ..which size & brand tires are you using? thanks

I used Nitto Invo's and Toyo T1Rs. I personally like both but I felt the nittos gripped more. I bought it from Discount Tire Direct and was able to bargain for two free warranty replacements (I bought two full sets) but their prices were pretty good

I would recommend against the 305/30/19 and would recommend going with the 315/25/19 as you maintain the correct OD especially running 4-wheel drive.

By the way if you're interested in a other set of Advan 235/35/19 tires I have a new set sitting here. $200 each

The T1R's should be off back order now... FYI...

there are few choices i know of in 235 and 315 configuration which is what you should run.

in order of personal preference...

-Michelin PS2
-Toyo T1r
-Nitto Invo

discount tires direct can get the yokos in 315/25/19 from Yokohama USA.
I called 3 weeks ago and this is what they told me. 5-10 days for delivery

For 19'' on a 996tt, you need 315/25/19 on the back. PS2's are WAY too expensive (~$550 each). I use Nitto Invos and am VERY VERY happy with them. Check out Ebay for them, I got a pair for like $630 shipped, before cashback.
