Question 19" Tire recomendations?

What would you guys recomend as far as brands go for tires that aren't really going to be tracked, but routinely driven at speed? Are the Goodyear F1's any good?

I would reccomend the Michelin Pilot Sports and the new version of them: Michelin Pilot Sports 2. Another great tire to consider is Bridgestone Pole Position S-03. The S-03s have great grip but wear fast and do run wider then most tires in their respecitive size range. Goodyear F1s are good as well, butr I have heard they do not like to grip when it is below 55 degrees or so. Hope this helps.

Being in Fl, that's really not an issue. Have you guys heard good things about the Nitto 555's?

i'll say go with Eagle f1 GS-D3, they are top of the line, you can check at tirerack. but the only issue is the widest tire is 275 in 19's.............. i had them in my Eclipse before, i love them!
