Akatsuki... is on a distinguished road
Just curious, and sorry if I missed it I didn't read the entire thread.. isn't it easier for guys to go 245 35 19 front 305 30 19 rear? Lots of choices for tires in this size and has proven to work NP for our cars?

It is debatable. It is better to have slightly taller fronts so the front drive has more power delivery. 235 is 25.5 and 315 is 25.2. The 305 is a full inch taller than the 315 so it is quite a difference at 26.3 inches tall. 305 is also a half inch taller than the 245 front. The 295 is 26 inches tall and compares well with the 245 at 25.8 in. So yes, there are easier to get options that seem to work but the 235 and 315 combo is the best match for the car in 19 inch if you want to be a perfectionist. The downside is that they don't have much sidewall. If you live in a place with bad roads I'd go for the 245 and 295 or the 305 if you have 12 inch wide rims.

I hit some curvy roads this weekend and am able to finally give a more complete review.

Grip or traction 10/10. These tires have colossal amounts of grip for a street tire. I was trying to break them loose in the corners to get a feel for how they handle at the limits, but the limits were so high I was getting too scared to get more than a bit of slip from the rear.

Feel 7/10. Some compromise is made here to achieve a more comfortable ride. The tires do feel good and handle well but there is some sidewall squirm in the corners. Not terrible but some. They are a street tire first and a track tire second. I think the feel at the limits is good, but I will need to visit a track to give more input here.

Comfort 7/10. Obviously they are going to be a bit bumpy due to the low sidewall profile but the ride is decent considering its limitations. These tires are quiet compared to other brands. They do make some noise, but they are tuned to a low pitch which is easier on the ears. Not annoying at all.

Treadwear ?/10. I don't think the treadwear is going to be all that good due to the soft high grip rubber.

Rain ?/10. I have not been in the wet with them.

Buying these tires from Delticom is like hitting on hot women, if you act desperate you ain't gonna get that. You may have blown it with your 10 emails.

Thanks for those kind and insightful words on how many emails you seem to know I sent.

I have sent two separate emails and also have gotten no response. Really would love to get set soon. This may no longer be an option for us.

Maybe Marat is gone or something. Start from the begining by emailing mytyres@delti.com just asking if you can have some tires shipped internationally. They will then forward you to the new contact hopefully

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I have sent two emails and tried different emails provided on this thread and both were sent back to me as undeliverable.
