What size tires are the best

 

You want 245/35/19 (25.8 inches tall) front with 295/30/19 (26.0 inches tall) rears. This is the closest setup. If your rears are 12 inches wide you can't fit a 295 and need to go to the 305/30/19 (26.3 inches tall) but this is pushing it a little bit. Plenty of guys run the 305 with no issues, though it is a tight fit and might require you to roll your fenders. I like the Michelin PSS or PS4 tires as they run a little bit wide and are really great performers, nice sidewalls. There are some really sticky tires like the Bridgestone RE71's in 305 as well.

 

I've been running MPS2 235/35f 315/25r for 12 years...this set-up works great for handling. Perfect match.

 

Those tires are no longer made in the 315/25, thus the switch to 295 or 305s. You can get 315's in Nitto or Toyo but those aren't good tires. Continental makes them but it is a special order from Europe. I have the Contis but I really went out of my way to get them.

 

unless you are tracking you car. whats wrong with nitto or toyo?

 

Poor lateral grip and feel compared to the better options. They both have really thin sidewalls, they really are more of a comfort tire for something like a sporty BMW or a IS300. They will flat spot if you leave them too. I'm not saying they are useless but they are way behind something like the Michelins. They are cheap for a reason. Anyone who has upgraded from them will tell you not to buy them.

 

I have PSS but was considering going the with a cheaper alternative as I've read good things about them.

 

They work and do have good grip off of the line but will probably be a bit disappointing in the corners considering the connected road feel and cornering grip that the PSS offers.
