19" Best Tires?

Guys, what's the current best solution in 19" for our cars? I've got 9's and 12's and running 315/25's and 235/35's. Yeah, I know there are tons of threads on this but I'm hoping maybe there is a new and better solution for us. I want to refinish my Vossens in gun metal gray and brushed lips, might as well re tire while at it. Thanks, John

245/35 up front 305/30 in the rear.

9 and 12 is not necessary with a 996.
anything else will be too small
even a 255/315 would be smaller than the aforementioned sizes.

power level and awd dont even need to be considered with a 9 and 12.
245/35 and 305/30. only option. and probably the best option for a 996

I'm shopping for tires and am going to go 315/25 and 235/35 in an effort to keep the revs per mile difference and height ratios as close to OEM spec as possible.

315's are borderline too narrow for the 12" rears on the car now. I like the wheels just want to change the finish.

I 2nd these sizes. I wasn't able to find 315's and run these on a 9/12 combo with Michelin PSS
