I'm looking for new wheels in 19in but I don't really like the tires choices I found so far. But still, many people seem to run 19in wheels so I'm wondering:

-what tire sizes are you running?
-what tire bran/model are you running?

If you were to do it again, would you still buy 19in or go with 18in??

Thanks.

 

Nitto Invo's are great tires been running them for over 2 years they have great traction & wear. For the street 19in & never look back but keep your 18in for track days or club events. I run 19x8.5 Fronts Tires Nitto Invo Tires 235/35/19
19x12 Inch in the Rears (18mm Spacers) Tires Nitto Invo Tires 315/25/19 good luck.

 

plus 1 on Invo's here.

 

Just got the nitto invo's....

 

I heard we need to run very close to stock overall diameter tires to not screw up the differentials. Do you guys know how well these tire compare with stock?

Any rubbing problems with 315 rear tires!?

 

Any problems with traction on 1st or 2nd gear? Do you have a flash/exhaust? I lose traction with PS2s with flash/exhaust.

 

I run the same nitto invo but 11.5 inch read rim on my 19 OZ supperleggera III.

 

Never had any rubbing issues. IMO your worry may have cause if you tracked your car with a 315 that's why I recommend you keep your stock 18in if you plan to track your car. If not I wouldn't worry about your differentials as you will never push your car on the street like on a track.

 

I don't lose traction with Nitto's and I have flash&exhaust no issues on 1st or 2nd gear.

 

I run 315 invo's as well but I do have traction issues, They are great for the price i'd say but options are few in this size if you want all your tires to match. They are a great ride & quiet / very good looking tire/ great wet not so bad dry.

 

I've been running the michelin pilot supersports and very happy with them. I'm running 235/35/19 and 305/30/19

 

I run Yokohama Advan Sport 235-35-19 ,315-25-19 with my 996 turbo X50 flash and exhaust.Really good tires.
