I personally rather run a 315 30 18 but in a 19" the largest for your application is a 315 25 19.

Thumbs up

A nice medium is the Dunlop 305/25/19.. The SP 9000 is a great tire and is larger than the Yoko 315.. It also has a good matched front... 245/30/19

if you go to a conti 315, be advised that fender rolling is probably required.

I was going to roll them anyway, just to be on the safe side.

While we are on this topic and for future reference: I currently have Yoko 315/25 on HRE 19's and the H&R coilovers set quite low. I do not rub now and do not have the fenders rolled. I am having my suspension raised an inch for lip clearance and esthetic and was wondering if that would get me more tire flexibility. The Yoko's seem to "barely" fit the rim and don't come close to the outer lip. If a tire did it would put it more in line with the edge of the fender as it seems the edge of the tire now is inside the inner lip of the fender. If the tire came out further it would seem it would be more in harms way of the fender. No way it would work now but with the extra inch it might. Anyone have any thoughts?
